One cool thing about nature school is that things are always changing...the hole that was dug on Monday is filled with water after a long rain on Tuesday-perfect for making soup, a bike washing station or jumping over (or in!). Nature school allows children the opportunity to learn in an environment that makes us aware. We understand that why it's hard for animals to find food in winter because we see there are no leaves, no berries and few plants. We discover ice when the temperature drops and the amazing sounds it makes when rocks are thrown. We feel the warm sun of spring and see the return of insects, buds and sprouts. Our pre-K program connects discovery, compassion and age appropriate learning in a way children can understand...through play and real life experiences.

Does your child love to learn through real life experiences? Are you looking for an alternative to public school education that allows for creative, age appropriate opportunities to discover, make friends, connect with the natural world, run, play, climb and explore?
Our Kindergarten and 1/2nd grade programs offer small class sizes, licensed and highly educated teachers and nature-based curriculum guided by NJ state standards all while taking into account the interests of each child. Social, emotional and educational growth is supported as children are met where they are and respected for who they are.
We invite you to visit our Kindergarten or First/Second grade classes! Meet our teachers, join us for a lesson, a wander, an art experience, yoga, Spanish or a visit to feed the goats to see what outdoor school looks like!
