Nature-Based Program: Specifically designed for children ages 3 to 5, our Nature Preschool offers a perfect mix of hands-on learning and outdoor adventures. Nestled at Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center, this one-of-a-kind program encourages little ones to connect with nature through fun, immersive play. By giving children the freedom to explore and engage with the natural world, they’ll not only develop a love for the outdoors but also build strong bonds with their peers. It’s all about sparking your child’s natural curiosity and creating lasting memories in nature!  

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING

Forest Friday Parent

“We couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll our child in the Nature Preschool. The combination of outdoor exploration and hands-on learning has been incredible for our child’s development. Every day, they come home excited to share what they’ve discovered in nature. The teachers are compassionate, nurturing, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth.”
