Started in September 2025, this preschool program brings the outdoors into the classroom! Each month features a different theme connected to nature. Gladwin and Beaverton preschoolers reconnect with the natural world around us through hands-on learning and various activities. The program runs throughout the school year and we hope to continue with it for many years to come!

This program can be adapted for all age groups. If you have any questions about this program or would like to participate, please don't hesitate to reach out.
