Our Programs
At Boots & Branches, we focus on connecting children to nature and developing their appreciation and stewardship of the natural world. We immerse children in nature through hands-on experiences and activities. Our vision is for children to become naturalist, community scientists, and stewards who have a deep connection to nature, their community, themselves and God.
Pre-k Nature School
We provide a caring and positive atmosphere in which children can learn in an outside environment. Students learn through exploration and hands-on activities that are both child-centered and teacher-directed. We introduce social, emotional, and physical skills as well as language and math competencies.
Boots & Branches Pre-K is designed for students 3-5 years old. Students must be toilet trained and 3 years old.

Your child and their caregiver will engage in creative nature based play both together and with others in the class. Inspired by play schema and the natural world, the leader will present a theme and invitation to play designed to encourage children to learn about the world around them and their place in it. Opportunities to practice empathy, creativity, and problem solving will be woven throughout each class as we focus on joyfully exploring together.
