The Little Barnyard Preschool offers children hands-on learning experiences with nature on a hobby farm
Our Core Values
Resilience
To practice problem solving, persistence, trust, vulnerability and bravery during times of adversity. To have a love for learning and a strong sense of wonder. To be honest and kind.
Belonging
To feel ownership, a sense of place, comfort and home. To find acceptance in self and others. To connect to the natural world and begin to understand that we are also nature as living beings on this earth. To feel heard, understood, empathized with, and honored, where ideas and feelings are represented in the interactions, emergent curriculum development and implementation, and learning spaces.
Open-Heartedness
To practice gratitude every day and find joy in the little things. To perspective-take and be mindful of ourselves and others. To love and feel loved. To listen and to be heard.
Freedom
To have space and time for our imaginations to roam and to express ourselves in many different ways. To play in spaces without walls. To allow the natural rhythm of our day to flow. To live slowly. To separate from tempting distractions and find our true selves. To just be.
