Our Outdoor Classrooms Inspire A Love Of Nature
Outdoor learning spaces are as well-equipped as indoor classrooms. Your little one studies local wildlife to learn about science, stacks blocks, and plays in open-air number centers to brush up on math, and picks new novels from book bins to practice reading in the sunshine.
Teachers Are Both Highly Experienced and Educated
Most of our teachers are Montessori-trained and hold either a Bachelor’s degree in education or a Child Development Associate credential. They have significant experience working with the Pre-K age group specifically and are CPR-certified for emergencies.
Yoga, Music, Spanish, And More Spark Joy
Daily enrichments bring a sense of excitement to your child’s day and break up their academic learning to teach them skills like creativity, self-expression, and movement. They clap to a beat, dance, twist into pretzels, study robots, ski, and much more. They also learn across subject areas with Frog Street Curriculum© and Conscious Discipline©!
