The Gratitude Garden Preschool states that it is a nature-based STEM focused school (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) with a nature based and Reggio-inspired STEM preschool approach and S.T.E.M. based learning powered by play. The program description notes an emphasis on positive social and emotional development, artistic expression, and creativity, and a focus on cultivating gratitude, compassion, creativity, and resiliency. The mission statement explains that The Gratitude Garden Preschool is focused on providing a fun, nurturing and curiosity-driven environment where children develop a love for learning and a grateful perspective on their lives.
The environment is described as non-toxic and nature-based, with rooms filled with essential oils diffusing to provide a calm and welcoming atmosphere, unique and well kept toys, twinkle lights throughout the rooms, and teepees and fluffy pillows surrounded by books creating a reading area. After the coronavirus closure, the program added a virtual classroom. All teachers have degrees, and the director and owner is Dr. Rey.
Satya Kids Foundation is a California non-profit, and all proceeds collected go directly to support programs and materials for children at The Gratitude Garden Preschool. Parent testimonials describe the school as STEAM or STEM focused, nature based, Reggio-inspired, and hands on with an outdoor approach to learning and exploring, and they mention that Dr. Rey and the staff are loving and nurturing. Parents also note that their children have attended both the preschool and kindergarten programs, that the atmosphere feels warm and caring, and that the environment includes opportunities to get messy, explore, play in the dirt, and learn science and technology through play.
