Saplings

Ages 3 - 5

Saplings (3y - 5y): Programs

Program Description

Our Saplings preschool program is designed for children ages 3-5. Together we embark on a learning adventure using the forest, garden, outdoor sensory play space, and the schoolhouse Yurt as our classroom. Children in this class will explore the natural world through a balanced rhythm of free play and integrative, adult-led activities. Every day we will root ourselves into a life-long love of learning and nature through creative expression with developmentally appropriate, nature-based arts and crafts activities, storytelling, music, games, and outdoor exploration.

Saplings preschool students are 3-5 years old and potty trained (Exceptions can be made for children with special needs. Please inquire for specifics)
