Veggie Patch Nature School

Veggie Patch Nature School is a play based outdoor preschool, where children are allowed to learn at their own pace, be one with nature, and gain age appropriate skills and knowledge. Friendship and learning surround our days all while allowing the children the space to follow their interests, being a guide in their own learning. We read stories, sing songs, use nature as our teacher, and learn how to be a great friend.

We embrace messy play of all kinds. Messy play fosters creativity, imagination, exploration. It also encourages communication, social emotional, concentration, and physical development. They come to Veggie Patch to explore, get messy,and leave most of the mess here and not at your home!

Here are a few of my favorite quotes that give an idea of the beliefs here at Veggie Patch.

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning, but for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood" -Fred Rogers

"What would you rather have? A child who begrudgingly recites data and can't wait for school to be over or a child who falls in love with learning and doesn't know exactly when school ends and life begins?" - Ainsley Arment

"Take chances, make mistakes and get messy!" - Ms. Frizzle

We look forward to hearing from you!!
