The Little Woods Preschool School Year program is designed to cultivate curiosity and growth through the power of outdoor play all year long. Embracing the changing seasons, we connect with nature, observe wildlife and experience nature firsthand. Through hands-on, somewhat-risky, child-led play in all types of weather, children not only develop a deep connection to the natural world but also build resilience, confidence, and problem-solving skills. While indoors, children have the freedom to choose from a range of engaging activities in a thoughtfully designed, child-centered space that encourages creativity and exploration, while fostering independence in their learning.

At Little Woods, we place a strong emphasis on nurturing emotional intelligence and positive social skills, guiding children to interact with kindness, compassion, and respect as they form meaningful friendships with one another. In addition to building a community within the classroom, nurturing strong connections among families is another value of the school year program, supported through seasonal gatherings and other opportunities to come together throughout the year.
