Schlitz Audubon Nature Center Preschool
Our Nature Preschool teaches 3- and 4-year-olds to love the natural world – and have lots of fun in the process! This is the only nature preschool in Wisconsin, and one of a small but growing number of nature-oriented preschools in the nation.
SANC’s Nature Preschool’s uniqueness stems from a strong commitment to both environmental education and active learning. Based upon seasonal changes, the broad-based curriculum includes art, music, perceptual and cognitive skill development, large and small motor skill development, natural science exploration, and, most important, daily outdoor discovery of the Center’s 185 acres of diverse habitats
Outdoor experiences are the cornerstone of our Nature Preschool. The children experience the freedom of casual exploration of a seemingly limitless natural world. Mini-adventures occur throughout the Center’s prairie, forests, ponds and marshes. The natural world is used as both theme and material in the education of the whole child.
Our goal is to develop your child’s ability to work independently and cooperatively, and to act in a caring and responsible way towards their environment, themselves and others.
The preschool years offer a unique developmental window of opportunity. We are excited to have the chance to nurture area preschoolers’ hearts and minds, and foster their love of nature – one child at a time. The preschool also offers – Hand in hand ( Child with Adult) classes and Nature Adventurers for K5 – 3rd grade. See the Nature Center winter calendar for details.
