Nature school program

Our nature preschool program runs during the traditional school year.  This program is a drop-off program for children ages 3-6 where we learn about the natural world around us and we interact with and learn about different farm animals and their care.  The focus of this program is self-guided nature discovery and a direct interaction with the natural world.  The program is all outdoors and is loosely based on the waldkindergarten programs in northern Europe.  A typical day will start with care of the animals, then we head into the forest to build, learn and play.  We will build things using natural materials, learn about the local flora and fauna, watch the land change as the seasons progress and most importantly we will have the freedom to learn in an outdoor setting. We believe in child led learning and emergent curriculum, where you build off what the children have learned during the program. Masks are optional for this program.
