Welcome
A Place of My Own has been teaching children in Napa for 40 years! We welcome children ages 2 and up and do not require them to be toilet trained. Children are placed in age-appropriate classrooms for “class time” each day as well as have the opportunity to play with all ages (2-6) during play times held both inside and outside.
Philosophy
Our program is designed to develop a child’s sense of independence and responsibility. We provide a developmentally appropriate program that provides your child with an environment for success. At APOMO, we encourage our children to learn through play.
When your child is here, we want him/her to get dirty! We believe that your child learns best about the environment, making friends, and working cooperatively when they are provided with the opportunity to play indoors and outdoors.
We believe the strength of our program lies in the dedication of our staff. We seek out well-educated and experienced teachers with a passion for working with young children.
Each staff member has unique strengths and abilities that form a community to meet the individual needs of each child, we want to work with you to make sure your child grows and learns in the best possible way!
Parents
Parents are the most important adults in a child’s life. We strongly encourage you to become involved in your child’s education. You are your child’s first and most important teacher. It is because of this that we depend on the personal parent participation of our APOMO families. We ask for 5 hours minimum of parent participation per school year.
Whether it be flipping burgers at our annual fundraiser, planting in our garden, donating snack items or supplies for our curriculum, we appreciate your support!
Our Center
APOMO is a 501(c) non-profit organization and is run by an Executive Director and parent Board of Directors. We hold monthly Board Meetings and parents are encouraged to attend as we appreciate their input.
