Time to learn our ABC's, shapes and colors all around us in the great outdoors. Our nature preschool classes are filled with activities to increase development of fine and gross motor skills. We are similar to a Forest Kindergarten in that our classes run 100% outdoors.
Outdoors is perfect for preschool and pre-K children to learn about textures, science, animals, landforms and anything else that catches their attention. We focus on Exploring, Discovering, Observing to answer Why.
Bring your own lunch. Teachers will share a Special ABC treat once a week, followed with a rest period involving a story, yoga, or mindfulness activity. Minimum 2 day commitment required for continuity.
