NaturePlay welcomes potty-trained students ages 3-5. Class is from 7:30 am - 4:30 pm. Select YES to add extended care to pick up your child(ren) at 5:30pm.

What could be better than stomping in puddles, collecting leaves, and playing in nature? NaturePlay students spend time outside every day, learning from the natural world that surrounds us. Activities, games, and art focus on place-based learning through inquiry and investigation of nature’s seasonal cycles. Our engaging lessons help students prepare for kindergarten, build important life skills, and foster a love for the environment. Navigate through the sections below to learn more. We have opportunities for families to visit the preschool in 2025, see below.
