Mini Adventurers Outdoor Preschool

Hello! My name is Rachel and I am the owner/instructor of Mini Adventurers Outdoor preschool!

Mini Adventurers is an outdoor/forest school and the first one in the area! I have worked in every type of childcare facility in the area and they all seem to be missing a critical component of childhood---- OUTDOOR ADVENTURE!!

Obviously, I'm in Jackson so your child won't literally be thrown into a forest. However, to be classified as a forest school (European standards as there are no official forest school regulations/qualifications for the United States....yet) there must be 1+ hours of OUTDOOR child led instruction per day, an outdoor classroom is to be present, and children should be able to roam freely without walls.

This is exactly what we are offering. We have a large back yard with an outdoor classroom currently under construction! We will run our "class time" outdoors using nature as a learning tool. Your children will still be working toward kindergarten readiness but their path will be individually tailored in a "classroom" with limitless possibilities!

We are an "in home" facility and I will be running licensed exempt but mirroring the policies of a licensed center in most areas. I will only accept 4 students at a time. This is because I am one person, we are going to be adventuring outside the confinement of a closed classroom, and safety is my top priority. I will be able to provide completely individualized care for each child with this ratio and I have no intention in exceeding it. I will follow state meal plan guidelines, safety standards, and will always be working on continuing education to make sure your children have the BEST care possible!
