Join us for an enriching outdoor preschool experience where kids aged 3-5 can immerse themselves in nature-focused lessons. Our curriculum includes exploring the wildlife refuge, learning about the energy cycle, and engaging in hands-on nature activities. We blend the best of inquiry based exploratory lessons with formal instruction to prepare children for success in Kindergarten and beyond.
Our Mission
To provide children with a premier education while using the outdoors as our classroom. We aim to instill a lifelong love for nature in children and build a community of little outdoor enthusiasts!
Get Outside to Learn!
Our goal is to be spend as much time outside as possible, with our daily goal being 50% of the school day. We will go outside rain or shine, hot or cold. Safety is priority #1, so decisions will always be made in a way that protects everyone in the program. ECOpreschool follows the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) Learning Standards and Curriculum Guidelines to ensure students are well prepared to enter Kindergarten. We will accomplish this while being outside and through inquiry based learning!
Our Program
Young children love digging their fingers into dirt or jumping into puddles. They also love finding a caterpillar and learning as it transforms into a butterfly - asking questions and expressing wonder along the way. We focus on bringing children outdoors to elicit their natural curiosity while guiding them through unforgettable learning experiences. We also provide a nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable to be themselves. At ECOpreschool, we focus on 4 core tenets that we incorporate into every single day: Energy, Connection, Wonder, and Creativity!
Partner Organization
ECOpreschool is interested in partnering with a farm or a nature/wildlife focused organization to blend learning and outdoor adventures! With our expertise in education, and your natural resources available to share, we can create a program that has a lasting impression on our preschoolers!
