Nature-based, outdoor learning for children ages 3–5

​

Wild Nook Preschool is an outdoor, play-based program where young children learn through curiosity, connection, and meaningful experiences in nature. Designed to honor the rhythms of early childhood, our days are calm, relational, and grounded in play—primarily outdoors in all seasons.

​

While nature learning is intentionally woven throughout the day, the heart of our curriculum is play, connection, and development rather than formal instruction or academic pressure.

​

Rooted in Christian faith, Wild Nook is guided by values of kindness, gratitude, stewardship, and love. Faith is woven gently into our days through prayer, stories, songs, and conversations, while our primary focus remains on social-emotional growth, imagination, confidence, and a strong sense of belonging.

​

Preschool classes are held outdoors in most weather, with indoor space used when conditions require it.

Our Preschool Program

Wild Nook’s preschool program emphasizes hands-on exploration, imaginative play, and social connection in a supportive, nature-rich environment. Class schedules and group sizes are intentionally designed to support regulation, engagement, and a positive outdoor learning experience.

Is Wild Nook a Good Fit?

Wild Nook Preschool may be a good fit if your family values:

  • Play-based, child-led learning

  • Time outdoors in varied weather

  • Social and emotional development

  • A calm, nurturing, part-time program

  • An environment where Christian values and faith are gently woven into daily life

 

Wild Nook may not be the best fit for families seeking full-day childcare, traditional academic instruction, a secular-based curriculum, or a primarily indoor classroom setting.

Enrollment Expectations

  • Children must meet the age requirement by September 1, 2026

  • Preschoolers should be fully potty-trained

  • Families should be comfortable with regular outdoor learning in most weather conditions

  • Space is limited to maintain a low child-to-teacher ratio

 

Additional policies will be shared during the registration process.
