About
Nature’s Edge Child Development Center is a small preschool where children take part in sensory play, nature walks, science fun, art experiences, imaginative play, and mixed age group activities. Children play together on the playground and use sensory areas that include water tables and a sandbox area. Classrooms use mixed-age group settings, including shared playground time, and the environment is described as a place where the arts and nature come together with spaces for being alone, with a few friends, or in a group.
• Schedule: Regular operational hours Monday through Saturday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm
They have been in business for over 20 years. The program’s mission states a strong commitment to working with children and families and to understanding parents’ needs and values. The mission describes a goal of building a sense of community among parents, children, and staff, and states that relationships are the core of the curriculum and philosophy. The program is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, describes the child as the curriculum, and uses the environment as a teaching tool, with an emphasis on play-based (Reggio) learning and nature, creativity, and meaningful exploration. The mission states that children are regarded as individuals, that their unique cultural, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds are valued and celebrated, and that the program strives to nourish the mind, body, and sense of self in consideration of the whole child.
One parent describes Nature’s Edge Child Development Center as a “hidden gem” and notes that their child experienced loving and supportive care, attentive teachers, daily feedback, and healthy, varied meals, and that the play-based (Reggio) learning style introduced TK/Kindergarten learning through play. Another parent reports that their family’s experience has been hugely positive, mentions lasting friendships and an “amazing community of parents,” and comments on the price. A third parent shares that both of their sons attended, describes the staff as caring and attentive, and states they highly recommend the program. A fourth parent notes that their 2.5-year-old participates in sensory play, nature walks, and science fun, and mentions that staff supported potty training and kept a food journal to share with their pediatrician, and that they previously attended the sister school for under 2-year-olds before transferring at age 2.
