What to Expect at Nature Nest

Starting something new can feel exciting — and a little overwhelming. At Nature Nest, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way. Here’s what families can expect when joining our community:

 

 A Warm, Gentle Transition

• We take the time to get to know your child and family before their first day.
   

• Transition visits, parent chats, and flexible start plans help each child ease into the space at their own pace.

​

A Sensory-Informed, Nature-Inspired Environment

• Our classroom feels calm, cozy, and natural — filled with open-ended materials, soft lighting, and natural textures.
   

• Outdoor time is prioritized, and we embrace messy, joyful, full-body play.
   

 

 A Place Where Every Child Belongs

• Whether your child is neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or simply doesn’t thrive in traditional preschool settings — they are welcome here.
   

• Our small group size (low teacher-child ratios) ensures personalized attention and strong relationships.

​

 Learning Through Play

• We focus on foundational skills: curiosity, communication, emotional regulation, and sensory integration.
   

• Children are encouraged to lead their learning through play, movement, building, art, and exploration.
   

 

Open, Honest Communication

• You’ll receive regular updates about your child’s day, progress, and joyful moments.
   

• We value your insight as the expert on your child — we’re partners in their learning journey.

 

A Community Rooted in Trust

• Families become part of a warm, supportive community that values connection, inclusion, and shared growth.
   

• We believe preschool should feel like a second home — for both children and parents.
