​At The Native School, we believe in the power of nature to inspire and nurture young minds. Our Piccola Class offers a nature-based preschool experience where children explore the world around them, develop essential life skills, and build an early foundation for environmental literacy.

Program Options:

• Partial Week (2 days): Mon/Wed or Tue/Thu

• Partial Week (3 days): Mon/Wed/Fri

• Partial Week (4 Days): Mon-Thu

• Full Week (5 days): Mon-Fri

Our fully outdoor program integrates nature into every aspect of learning, from outdoor exploration to hands-on activities that promote cognitive, language, physical, emotional, and social growth. Children in the Piccola Class are encouraged to develop curiosity and care for the natural world, fostering both their development and an ecological mindset.

We combine high-quality early childhood education with environmental education practices, ensuring a developmentally appropriate, well-rounded learning experience. Through nature, your child will grow their cognitive abilities, social-emotional skills, and connection to the environment.

Let your child discover the world around them while building a strong foundation for their future.
