Natural materials and loose parts have many affordances! This allows children to think creatively.
Our Mission
We strive to provide high-quality care and education to our youngest learners with an emphasis on understanding and appreciating the natural world. We pride ourselves on providing an inclusive environment for children to wonder, create, and explore.
What does nature education do for young children?
Nature provides countless opportunities for children to engage all five senses in hands-on learning! Nature affords problem-solving, critical thinking, and STEM-based learning. Research has also shown that increased time spent in nature positively effects cognition, language development, and social-emotional well-being including increased capacity for caring and decreased stress levels.
