Benefits of nature based preschool:

Partnering with the Environment – Becoming a good steward and understanding one’s place in the larger world.
Fine Motor Skills Development in Natural Settings – Strengthening hands and fingers through interaction with natural materials before introducing formal pencil/writing expectations.
Gross Motor Skills – Developing coordination, balance, agility, and core strength through big play movements such as running, jumping, and climbing.
Teamwork – Encountering and overcoming obstacles in nature (e.g., moving objects, carrying items, and completing outdoor activities and tasks).
Physical Development – Promoting a healthier lifestyle through movement, exercise, and exposure to fresh air.
Integrated Learning – Combining academics and experiential learning through project-based, problem-based, and place-based learning, which enhances knowledge transfer and depth of understanding.
Increased Creativity and Problem-Solving Skills – Engaging natural curiosity and boosting student-led discoveries to improve engagement.
