Nature’s Playground Preschool at the Norton Outdoor Center

Our beautiful outdoor classroom offers a wide variety of habitats – including forest, field, wetlands, and riverfront. Our goal is to spend at least 80% of your child’s day outside, learning through natural exploration. Our outdoor classroom has three areas with overhead shelter to protect from light rain and snow and will act as a homebase for our daily adventures. Our indoor classroom provides an engaging and safe space for activities during severe weather.

Curriculum

Because we believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve, the Y is for Youth Development.

  • Children will develop a lifelong relationship with the outdoors through nature-based learning.
  • Free choice activities and guided experiences allow children to expand their math, science, and language skills while exploring learning in the natural world.
  • Children’s natural curiosity is encouraged through inquiry-based, multi-sensory activities.
  • Activities are grounded in best practice early childhood standards.
