Bravely Return to the Earth


Preschool



We are an interdisciplinary preschool program fostering a love of diversity and learning. By helping our students learn healthy habits, patience, cooperation, peacemaking and resourcefulness, the children develop a sense of self agency, awareness and reliance. By having program outside the children inherently build a treasure chest of knowledge and understanding of the natural world, and feel confident wherever their journeys take them. Natural connection to the Earth, themselves and each other is easily found by having the program take place on Van Noble Farm with an intimate 1:6 teacher to student ratio.



Registration is open and limited!



What to consider before enrollment



Due to the (literal) nature of our program, we need to take measures to make sure all the children will maintain a baseline of safety while at program. For children of this age, it is imperative that they be fully potty trained and out of diapers. Of course the occasional accident is to be expected, but frequent accidents can create disharmony when balancing the needs of the group.


At Breathe, we expect children to follow a short set of guidelines that ensures the protection of the land from undue harm. We expect your child to treat the Earth, themselves and others with kindness and respect. We also need your child to be able to follow directions and stay with the group. We would like for these expectations to be upheld at least 50% of the time. You can expect us to communicate with you so that we can work together in supporting your child. Also, we look forward to hearing your concerns, feedback and ideas to help your child meet these expectations.

What to pack by semester



Children bravely returning to the Earth entails them being outside in many different weather conditions. We plan on children being outside every day they are with us and want the children to enjoy their time. Thus, we want to make sure that the children have the proper gear they need to be comfortable and safe. That being said, if the weather is extreme, we do have an indoor space we can go to. It is our responsibility to help you understand how to dress your child for a fun day outside (in all weather conditions).
