Classroom: Boasting a strong early childhood approach to learning, we provide a variety of academic mediums that support the commitment we have of teaching Kindergarten readiness skills through play-based learning. Core literacy and mathematic themes are integrated into learning through developmentally appropriate experiences enhanced by children's interests. Writing their name, word recognition, writing letters and words, shape and color recognition, patterning and math concepts are reinforced through exploration and investigation of carefully considered materials. We utilize both our indoor and outdoor classrooms to provide rich and engaging experiences for our children in efforts to support their growth academically, emotionally, and socially. Outdoors: Our preschool is behind the Jewish Synagogue with a garden gated entrance. We enjoy a large and natural playground with trees, paved areas, shade, and space. We have converted our outdoor space into a fully functioning classroom environment consisting of separate interest centers to explore while taking advantage of the numerous gifts of engaging outdoors in the fresh air. We have child-sized gardens for children to plant and tend to .

Big Tree Little Preschool - Where Curiosity Thrives Every moment at Big Tree Little Preschool overflows with hands-on learning, nature-led projects, and genuine community spirit. Picture muddy boots from nature walks, and collaborative art made from leaves. It’s an environment where curiosity guides each lesson, families engage wholeheartedly, and children flourish in a safe, time-tested, nature-focused haven. Child-Driven Explorations If a curious mind finds a beetle under a log, that magical moment can shape the day’s lessons. Guided by inquiry-driven projects, educators build on each child’s interests, turning spontaneous discoveries into art, science, and storytelling adventures. Nature Adventures & Muddy Boots Our five acres become an extended classroom where physical play meets real-world exploration. Children balance on branches, inspect caterpillars, or measure footprints—each step combining experiential learning and gross motor skill development, rooted in forest-school philosophy. Nature-Based Child Development Whether painting with pinecones or collaborating on bug hotels, our interdisciplinary approach nurtures creativity, empathy, and critical thinking. Social-emotional growth flourishes as children work together, while cognitive skills bloom through playful discovery and flexible, developmentally aligned activities.
