Little Wonders Nature Preschool

Little Wonders is a half-day program for little learners ages 3-5 that complements the home routine.  At EdenAcres farm campus, children can transition slowly into an educational setting where nature is their first teacher!  From petting farm animals to walking through the forest and watching seedlings grow in the school garden, our outdoor learning spaces nourish the foundational senses.   

​

Our program is designed to nurture every aspect of a young child’s development. We provide a tender and supportive environment that encourages learning through play and exploration, while promoting social-emotional development and self-expression.

Each day the children will experience hands-on activities that support sensory integration and thriving in the elements.  We have found that children can be successful in all weather with the proper gear, and our instructors are prepared to make sure your child is comfortable and confident in their nature classroom so they will love learning outdoors!
 

We create a setting where children can grow into citizens of the world; respecting all cultures, creatures, and environments. Our curriculum emerges from each child’s unique needs and aptitudes that provide children with the skills they need to be prepared for kindergarten. Children learn to self-regulate and navigate interactions with friends and others. Instructors “follow the child,” learning and responding each child’s uniqueness. We maintain a low child to staff ratio so children have more opportunities for meaningful interaction. At EdenAcres, we create an atmosphere where children can explore the natural world, learn to ask relevant questions, develop problem-solving skills, and learn how to live, work, and communicate cooperatively.

​

​We celebrate that children learn through hands-on and minds-on experiences by providing opportunities each day for your child to select, explore, and practice skills. What may look like “just play” to an adult is a child actively learning. Through play, a child develops problem solving, social skills, self-regulation, language skills, and motor skills.
