Monarch Preschool

Monarch is a nature-based enrichment program for children ages 2.5–6 offering part-time, play-centered experiences designed to spark curiosity and foster connection through outdoor learning. The program is not a private school or child care program, but focuses on play-based, child-led education that supports social, emotional, and academic development.

Philosophy

Play-based, child-led education that supports social and emotional development, strengthens language and numeracy skills, and inspires a life-long love of learning. The natural landscape serves as the third teacher, with children exploring science, storytelling, and creative expression through nature-based discovery, sensory play, and art. Teachers and children work together through challenges, and children are encouraged to negotiate space, time, and materials via peer-to-peer communication.

Ages served

Outdoor

As an outdoor program, Monarch focuses heavily on the natural environment as the third teacher. Children engage in gardening, tree climbing, fruit and vegetable harvesting, nature-inspired art and literacy, science experiments, cooking, and are encouraged to get messy, take risks, and find adventure in the natural world.
