Dress for the Mess

At Art and Nature Based Pre-K, we offer a unique and engaging curriculum that integrates art and nature-based learning into academic enrichment. Our programs are designed to foster creativity, critical thinking, and a love for nature. Through activities such as nature walks, outdoor art projects, and sensory play, children develop a deep appreciation for the environment and gain valuable academic skills.

 

Nature is the ideal classroom.

Nature truly is the ideal, sensory environment—inherently filled with such supportive learning opportunities. When we are outdoors, we hear sounds all around us, have endless opportunities to move our bodies, and are surrounded with light, color, scents, textures, and more. The surfaces are uneven and there are reasons to look up, down, and all around us. Nature offers the incredible mix of being calming, constantly changing, and stimulating to all of our senses. It simultaneously puts us at ease and at full attention—the dream combination for learning.

"The woods were my Ritalin. Nature calmed me, focused me, and yet excited my senses."—Richard Louv
