Noah’s Ark Preschool
At our site we love to encourage and incorporate nature activities into our everyday lessons. Students enjoy exploring our gardens with fruits and vegetables. They learn about how things grow and what lives on the plants and in the dirt. Children get to taste the foods that they helped grow in the garden. Annually we have a “Beautify Our Playground Day”, where families work alongside their student to complete needed projects. Distributing dirt, weeding, building and immersing themselves in nature. This day helps families and students become more involved in the students learning and in the school.
Every fall we hold a fundraiser to raise money to complete projects on this day and add new and fun items to our indoor or outdoor classrooms. We ask our families as well as community members to help us raise these funds. This year we made a pumpkin patch for the children. There is hay and pumpkin. The children can explore them the pumpkins and play with them. This was a great addition to our playground. We will encourage participation in our “Beautify the Playground Day” and add to our classrooms and playground!
