🌿🌳 Don't just take our word for it! 💚 Hear what Lissa, a parent in our Nature-Based PreK at Cedar Ridge Elementary, has to say:

💬 "The Outdoor PreK program at Cedar Ridge with Ms Zelda and Ms Sharon is amazing! My 4 year old daughter is coming home each day energized and excited. She has been expressing a new interest in nature now. Before nature seemed more like the background, but now when we go on walks or are in our back yard, she is more inclined to talk about the sky, insects, plants or dirt. She seems more confident outside and not as timid around kids anymore. I've really noticed her social skills blossoming. She only started a month ago!" 🦋🐛

🌱 Imagine what a whole school year of outdoor learning can do!

🍂 It's not too late to join the adventure! We are still welcoming 4-year-old learners into our Nature-Based PreK program at Cedar Ridge Elementary! 💚 Come grow, explore, and learn with us!
