When kindergarten happens outdoors, the entire landscape becomes a classroom—natural materials spark creativity, and the rhythms of nature guide the day. This approach honors how young children learn best: through play, sensory exploration, movement, and meaningful relationships. This is kindergarten, the way it was intended.  

Our kindergarten offers young children the opportunity to grow, explore, and develop a deep connection with nature while building foundational academic and social-emotional skills. Early literacy and numeracy are developed outdoors along with physical health, emotional regulation, and environmental literacy all the while fostering the, confidence, and joy that every child deserves

Teachers bring a rich environment to the children by offering projects based on the observations of the children.  Wonder and curiosity are protected and allowed to grow with a pace that matches that of the children.  Through storytelling and projects the children weave together a growing understanding of literacy, numbers, social studies, science, gardening and play. 

We are so excited to hear from you!
