Nature Preschool

Summer Enrichment Program

Summer experiences guided by our licensed early childhood educators promote social, physical, emotional and cognitive development as children gather information, pursue new questions and construct theories of how the world works.

Opens January 25 for Family Memberships and February 1 for nonmembers!

Through child-initiated play, your 3 or 4 year-old will experience the inherent wonder, complexity and beauty of the natural world.

Preparing for Success

• Our Summer Nature Preschool program is intended for families looking for discovery-based learning and a hands-on approach to education.

• This is great preparation for children starting in a preschool or kindergarten this fall, or for those not enrolled in regular preschool during the school year but needing to learn autonomy in a group setting.

• Also a great way for children to practice the skills needed for future preschool or kindergarten experiences, including independence and social skills (eating as a group, taking turns, etc.)

• Children are assisted in their interactions with others and invited into cooperative learning and play.

Adult/Child Ratios‍

Our program operates with a minimum of one adult educator per eight children (1:8 ratio), which surpasses the state licensing minimum of one adult per 12 children (1:12). This staffing plan ensures a safe and personal learning experience for your child. There is a maximum of 16 children per session.

Because this is a licensed preschool, there is a registration packet for each family to ensure compliance with state standards. Each week includes a combination of routine practices and emergent curriculum based on what we discover together in nature.

Children bring a packed individual snack. Parents and guardians do not attend this camp with their children. Children must be potty-trained at attend.
