Nature Preschool

The natural areas of Dodge Lane Trails and Preservation Park, a 67 acre urban forest, allow children the opportunity to explore, discover, create and understand the natural world and their place within it. 

The creative process of learning continues inside our fully-equipped indoor classrooms and facilities, bringing the outside in.

Our nature preschool programming offers children the opportunity;

  • to gain social and emotional confidence,

  • to explore math and science in context,

  • to gain experiences in early literacy, music, art, dramatic play, cooking and much more.

Children are also nurtured through our school food program.  Every day students and teachers enjoy a freshly prepared organic, seasonal three-course lunch and two snacks from our school kitchen.
