We are a nonprofit nature-based cooperative preschool founded by a group of parents and educators.

We plan to open a play-based, Reggio Emilia inspired program for 3-5 year olds in September 2022 in Chicago's North Shore suburbs.

Through outdoor exploration, hands-on learning, and community service projects, we will prepare students to confront environmental challenges and thrive in a diverse, democratic society.

We believe in nurturing the capabilities and potential in every child, and will use children's interests and observations to shape our curriculum.

Community Survey

We are looking for input from the community to make sure our school meets families’ childcare and educational needs. To fill out a brief survey, click here.
