Inside, our spacious and welcoming learning environment invites children to engage with a rich variety of materials from both natural and constructed worlds. We foster creativity, independence, and a love for learning in every corner of our preschool.

We are open Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm and welcome families who value play-based learning, outdoor exploration, and a nurturing, community-focused approach to early childhood education.
