PRESCHOOL
We offer preschool children a small, personal school in a beautiful, natural environment surrounded by a huge outdoor ‘classroom’ with endless opportunities to learn from nature and the natural world.
​Our objectives are to nurture happy and confident children by dedicating time to truly understand each child and carefully listening to them to foster self-esteem. We aim to instill a love of learning by encouraging natural curiosity, inspiring a lifelong passion for discovery and knowledge
How?
Through a thematic learning approach, we expand children’s worldviews by providing catalysts for curiosity that broaden their perspectives and understanding. We emphasize a connection with nature as a rich learning resource, encouraging appreciation and exploration of the natural world. We go for daily walks and explorations around Misty Meadows Farm.
​
​Practical activities such as gardening, woodwork, handcrafts, music, and cooking offer hands-on experiences that enhance practical skills. We foster creativity and imagination through storytelling, drawing, painting, and role play, sparking imaginative thinking. By promoting collaborative play, we nurture a spirit of teamwork and shared learning. We build self-confidence and initiative by empowering children to find answers, conduct their own research, and solve problems independently. Finally, we support the development of body awareness and coordination through gross-motor activities like yoga, ball skills, walks, climbing and movement exercises, and fine-motor activities like drawing, cutting and play dough.
