At Mar Vista children are free to turn on their imaginations, they entertain themselves, they change from passive to active and interact in very simple ways with nature, with each other, and with their parents!

Mar Vista Cottages

Could it be that children are overwhelmed and intimidated by too many choices these days? Could it be that simple adventures like exploring the creek looking for slimy banana slugs, or building a sandcastle on the beach is comforting to a child who lives in a stressful, complicated world of beeps and boops, homework and fierce competition. Could it be that children need a rest too!
