Daycare and After School Program

Adge Marziano has been an independent childcare provider in the Gunnison Valley for over one year. She has set up her own camp- like program where education is fun and children grow and learn. Combining such activities as music, outdoor adventuring, poetry, baking and yoga, Adge enjoys bringing out the positive energy within each young child and opening them to the rewards of learning. Drawing upon aspects of Waldorf education, Montessori teaching as well as her own philosophies surrounding education, Adge creates a warm environment where children can learn through play, hands-on activities, asking questions, extending their imagination and more. Drop ins may be available on a daily basis. For more information please contact Adge at 970-349-0846 or adgemarz@hotmail.com.
