Imagine a classroom without walls, where the sky stretches wide and every tree, plant, and rock invites wonder and discovery. At Little Garden School, children learn naturally — moving freely, following their interests, and connecting deeply to place and each other.
Here, children cultivate meaningful friendships, build confidence through exploration, and nurture their creativity through hands-on learning
Cultivating curiosity by embracing the awe and mystery of the natural world.
Learning through open-ended play, where creativity and problem-solving come to life.
Rooting learning in the environment, where every element offers a lesson.
Creating a space where every child feels valued, seen, and connected.
Ages 18 months to 5
Stay + Play is a nature-based class where toddlers and preschoolers, with a caregiver, enjoy seasonal songs, nature walks, and hands-on activities that foster early learning and connection to nature.
Ages 3-6
At Nature Preschool, children engage in child-directed play and hands-on experiences in nature, fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and socio-emotional development in a nurturing, outdoor environment.
Ages 6 to teen
Wild Explorers is a nature-based enrichment program where children engage in hands-on activities like gardening, woodworking, and creative arts, fostering a love for nature and learning through inquiry and exploration.
In addition to these three core programs, we offer summer camps, enrichment classes, birthday parties, and nature playgroups. For more details, visit our program overview.
Nature-based learning nurtures the whole child, equipping them for success both now and in the future.

Whether you're looking for a nature-based learning experience or seeking a place where your child can connect with others, we’re here to support your family’s journey. Join us in creating a space where curiosity and connection flourish.
