Entering preschool is a milestone for children. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which every child is valued and is considered an integral part of our community. We strive to provide experiences in which children can develop confidence, build their critical thinking and social skills, and develop a deeper connection to nature. 

Play is important in the development of children. We use an emergent, child-centered approach, which means that we value spontaneity and take advantage of the “teachable moment.”  

Nature is at the heart of our program. We believe that children are intrinsically motivated to learn. We strive to provide opportunities each day for children to select, explore, and practice skills using a variety of natural materials and activities. By connecting children with the natural world, we hope to inspire a love of nature, foster an environmental ethic and encourage a caring attitude that will follow each child throughout his or her life.
