Our Programs
Sparking Joy, Wonder, & Imagination
Littlest Hatchlings
This program is for our littlest hatchlings, ages 18 - 36 months. The day will be full of stories, songs, fresh air, free play, and unconditional love.
​
Children will gain independence and confidence as they practice new life skills such as putting on and taking off their outdoor clothing, cleaning up after themselves, and helping to prepare snacks and meals. Our multi-age classroom allows these tiny toddlers to learn from the “big kids,” and we have found that these little hatchlings wander over to join in some lessons when they are ready.
​
All children will play and explore outside rain or shine. We jump in puddles, play with mud, and get messy. They will have an emphasis on natural, open-ended toys and loose parts to promote imagination and creative play.
They will learn how to communicate with their peers. They will know how to express their feelings, ask a friend if they can take a turn, and ask for help. We will all learn to help each other and we will fill our days with kindness, creativity, and new experiences.

Wild Hatchlings
This special program is for children ages 3-6. In this preschool program, children will spend ample time outdoors learning and getting messy! Learning will be primarily child-led, but we introduce the children to literacy and math concepts through a variety of play-based activities. Each week, children will have a Spanish class, time for creative arts, a baking lesson, and a life skills lesson. Teachers will guide the children in problem-solving when disputes and disagreements arise so that the children gain experience in feeling and expressing emotions and in playing with others respectfully.
​
The program is available as a full day or a partial day program.
