Loving & Learning Nature Preschool

Loving & Learning Nature Preschool Loving & Learning Nature Preschool is an outdoor play-based preschool with a strong focus on social-emotional development.

It is my goal to provide a place where children can learn, explore, have fun, and know they are accepted and loved. At Loving & Learning, kids are provided with a safe, loving, fun environment where they are able to learn through play in a home-like atmosphere. With over 20 years experience in licensed childcare and degrees in Early Childhood Education and Developmental Psychology, I design my curriculum and care to meet the developmental needs of each individual child. Through lots of child-led play with hands-on activities and one-on-one time, children can learn, explore, have fun, and know that they are
accepted and loved!
*3-5 years old
*Healthy USDA snacks
*Daily curriculum for all ages with a main focus on learning through PLAY
*Classes Monday through Thursday

Today we celebrated 🌎 Earth Day! 🌎 by planting a variety of sunflowers!! 🌻The kids talked about what they love most about our earth (playing at the beach, swimming in lakes, going on walks/hikes, and playing outside!), and how we can help take care of the earth (picking up trash, planting new trees and flowers, saying thank you to nature 💚).

We are so grateful to live and play in nature daily! We can create nature lovers by exposing our kiddos to all the wonderful things nature has to offer, teaching them to notice and appreciate it, and being role models as stewards of the earth. And we know that raising nature lovers means raising nature protectors! 💪🌲💓

We had such a great time at Lattin's Cider Mill today!! They are wonderful hosts. They served us cider donuts, fresh apple cider, and some of their blackberry cider milkshakes! 😋 The kids got to feed the animals, snuggle some newborn babies, and go on a super fun tractor train ride! Thank you so much to all the families who joined us and helped make the day special. These field trips are possible because of you! 💓

Today we did a guided drawing where the kids followed instructions one step at a time. They had to guess what we were drawing as we went. It was so funny! 😆 They all did a great job and had fun painting their piggies after they were done drawing them!

We've been learning a lot about farms here lately, and this week we had the kiddos do the teaching! At circle time, they each picked a farm picture and then talked to the group about what was happening in that picture and why. They described what they saw, elaborated with what they knew about the topic, and answered their friends' questions about it.

Social skills are something we work on a lot here. As the school year has gone on, these kids have gotten so good at taking turns in conversation and speaking up in the whole group! 💚

So much focus to balance their eggs! 😄 We had fun dying our eggs today, and making our doggos just as colorful 😆

You'll have to turn your volume up for this one 🦊 One of their favorite games and a good one to wear them out! Lol

"Mr. Fox, Mr. Fox, what time is it!?"

The fox tells them a number o'clock and they take that many steps toward the fox, then repeat the question. When they get close enough, the fox answers, "Lunch time!!" And chases them till someone gets tagged. 😆
