Yes. All children must be fully potty trained, able to pull their pants up and down, and use a toddler-sized or standard toilet with minimal help.

No. We require a minimum of two days per week, and recommend three or more for the richest experience. This helps children settle in, build friendships, and thrive in the program.

No. Wild Preschool is a full school year commitment from September through May. This allows us to provide consistent programming and retain dedicated staff.

We are a fully outdoor program; however, some locations have an indoor space to shelter in case of inclement weather. Even if there is an indoor space, in severe weather, we still may adjust plans, postpone, or cancel for safety. A detailed weather plan is provided for each site.

Yes. We embrace all kinds of weather—rain, shine, or mud—so children can build resilience and learn with the seasons.

No. We splash and play in shallow water but never go in past the ankles.

Classes run 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with drop-off starting at 8:45 AM. There’s a 5-minute grace period for pick-up. The Heights program offers optional extended pickup until 3:00 PM.

Yes, but always in a way that’s meaningful and developmentally appropriate. Children build early literacy, math, and science skills through hands-on experiences in nature—counting acorns, measuring puddles, tracking animal prints, and more.

Our days follow a familiar rhythm with circle time, nature walks, focused projects, free play, and closing circle. Within this structure, children lead much of their own learning through curiosity and exploration.

No. Children will build relationships with all teachers and classmates. This helps develop flexibility, trust, and community.

As a rule, no. Staying often makes it harder for children to adjust. Our experienced teachers support children gently through this transition. If you’re concerned, consider starting with one of our caregiver-child classes first.

No. We ask parents to leave after drop-off to support healthy separation and engagement.

Yes. A non-refundable $50 registration fee is required.

Program Registration Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable, and are not considered part of your tuition. This means the $50 registration fee cannot be refunded or applied to another program, person, or season.
