Nature-Based Preschool
The Anne Springs Close Greenwayâ„ Nature-Based Preschool fulfills the Greenway's mission to connect people with nature by developing a sense of wonder and appreciation for nature in our youngest community members.
Our half-day preschool program prepares your preschooler for kindergarten while positively impacting your child's emotional, mental, physical and social development.
The Anne Springs Close Greenwayâ„ Nature-Based Preschool follows North American Association for Environmental Education (NAEE) Guidelines for Excellence, and primarily outdoor experiences are incorporated into the day with a strong emphasis on outdoor exploration.
Decades of research shows that spending time in nature benefits children in the following ways:
- Improved fitness and motor skill
- Supports exploration, discovery and creativity
- Enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills
- Inspires collaboration
- Reduces stress, anger and aggression
- Creates feelings of empathy
- Supports whole-child development
