Imagine a place

Where children are invited
'please touch'
'smell this'
'can you hear?'
A place where it's OK to get a little dirty.

We believe

That early childhood is a time for discovery, a time to enjoy the many miracles of the natural world
the colors of fall prairie grass
the feel of a snake's skin
the call of the chorus frogs
the smell of plum blossoms
