Welcome to Discovery Gardens Fullerton Environmental Early Learning Center (EELC)!

Fullerton’s new Nature-Based Preschool opened its doors on August 16th, 2021, and never looked back. We are so pleased to offer our preschoolers enriching experiences in nature both in and out of the classroom.

A Little Bit About Us…

Emmanuel is an open, friendly, and inclusive church which welcomes people of all ages, all backgrounds, and all viewpoints.  For this reason, the school will include students and staff from all backgrounds. 

We are a partial Spanish immersion school which means we teach Spanish naturally through daily activities. Our focus will be on outdoor education and environmental sustainability. We aim to spend the majority of our day in the Outdoor Classrooms, rain or shine, and within the principles outlined the Reggio-Emilia philosophy and Constructivist teaching and learning.
