Meet Your Teacher:
Ms. Tami!
Hi! I am Ms. Tami! Watching children develop and grow naturally fills me with such joy!
I have a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education from Northeastern State University and over 13 years of teaching experience.
I'm passionate about creating a nurturing and engaging environment for young learners. I embrace a holistic approach to teaching early learners, honoring each child's individual development. With the increase in screen time for early learners, I see a great need for a learning environment that sparks their creativity and imagination, with little use of technology. Students will encounter nature inside and outside of the classrooom with structured activities and unstructured play working hand-in-hand to stimulate curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
My favorite part about teaching preschool is seeing the joy on children's faces when they independently solve a problem or conquer a challenging situation!
Now, I get to teach YOUR child! I can't wait!
Top 10 Reasons You'll Love Us
Check Out Our Premier Program!
#1: We focus on "unplugging"!
We intentionally rely very little on technology. No iPads here. Nature is the cornerstone of our approach to teaching the "whole child", honoring all aspects of development. We focus on kindergarten readiness through naturally/intentionally embedded literacy and math learning opportunities through indoor and outdoor play.
#2: You are an integral part of our team!
When we work together, we create a seamless, supportive environment that boosts your child's cognitive development, social skills, and self-confidence, ensuring they feel secure and motivated to explore. Your active involvement is not only welcomed, but essential to helping your child reach their full potential and nurturing a lifelong love of learning.
#3: Your Child will Make Close Friends!
Our small classes of just 6 children allow your child to be comfortable and grow valuable friendships with the other preschoolers and teacher.
Opportunites for unstructured nature play encourages collaboration with others, lowers stress, and cultivates self-discipline and independence.
#4: We are family!
We want your family to feel they are part of our community. We welcome you to invite your whole family to attend our special family events all year long: Meet 'n Greet, seasonal class parties, and other special events scheduled throughout the school year. You are always welcome to volunteer in our classroom and/or at any of our events.
#5: We keep your child healthy & safe!
Our indoor and outdoor spaces provide safe environments in which children can move and explore under our watchful eye. Our indoor classroom is intentionally designed with child safety in mind while our outdoor spaces provide children fresh air and a sense of freedom to follow curiosities, make discoveries, and experience the joy of movement.
We are CPR/First Aid certified.
#6: Your child will love our preschool!
I'll help your child come out of his/her shell, gain self confidence, and grow in all areas of development. I'm excited to help your child grow and learn!
#7: All of our events are free!
To extend our learning we plan to go on several field trips each year, and you get to join your child on them. We look forward to hosting visitors to our classroom for added learning experiences. We celebrate special occasions with parties for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and your child’s birthday!
#8: Your child gets a shirt and portfolio!
Each year, your child will receive a different t-shirt for that school year to wear on Spirit Days. We hope that our families will be with us so long they are t-shirt collectors! We also save some of your child’s artwork for a special portfolio you get at graduation.
#9: We help you preserve memories!
We offer you the opportunity to enrich your preschool experience by enjoying book orders, class pictures, and graduation pictures.
#10: We celebrate with graduation!
Bring your entire family to our yearly graduation and awards celebration, where we celebrate your child's accomplishments in a big way! It'll be a night to remember! Your child will be part of the celebration every year, so be sure to bring your entire family for a fun family experience for free!

When should I call to register my child?
It’s never too early to call, so call as soon as you even think about registering, because our classes fill up ridiculously fast!
When does preschool start? Can I enroll mid-year?
We have a 10-month school year (Aug.-May). If we have spots available, you can enroll mid-year. Please call us to see if we have any spots available.
How old does my child need to be to attend?
Preschool classes are for children who are ages 3-5 (and "independent almost-3-year-olds") on or before Aug. 1.
Does my child have to be potty trained?
Yes. If you have any questions about whether or not your child is ready, feel free to give us a call. We even have a “How To Potty Train” your child handout we can give you. It’s helped many preschool moms quickly potty train their kids. We’re here to help!
What is your teaching philosophy?
We follow a nature-based philosophy, using outdoor and indoor learning spaces to foster inquiry, social skills, and cognitive development. Play and structured learning opportunities are at the core of this learning method and will help to develop foundational academic concepts (numbers, letters, shapes, and colors) that will be important as preschoolers head to kindergarten. Activities like counting leaves or finding letter shapes become learning experiences. Our number one goal is to nurture and support young children's love of learning.
Are there additional fees during the year?
No. Your registration fee covers all your child’s supplies and reserves a spot in our program. Your child won’t pay anything to attend our field trips and activities. Your child will also receive at no extra cost: a preschool shirt to wear on Spirit Day and a graduation portfolio!
What if my child has food restrictions?
No worries. Several of our students have food intolerances or severe allergies. We ask these families to bring in their own snacks, and we create nut-free classrooms any time a child’s allergy is severe enough to require an epi pen.
Is the registration fee refundable?
No.
How many students do you have per class?
We have the smallest class sizes in town so your child gets lots of 1-on-1 time. We only have 6 students per class.

"We love Ms. Tami! Finding a place you can trust your kids will be safe at and gain a meaningful education is one of the most weighty tasks a parent has.
