Our Philosophy
Havenwood Nature School places nature at the heart of every program.
We focus on creating an awareness of, and appreciation for, the natural world. Our unique nature school accomplishes Reggio inspired education goals while addressing the whole child’s developmental needs. Our curriculum integrates academic studies with an emphasis on environmental education – not as a separate subject, but as a pivotal element of language and literacy, math, art, music, dramatic play, and other areas of the curriculum.
“ Letting kids spend time in settings with natural elements or giving them structured nature experiences can make for a calmer, socially safe, and fun learning environment. And being outdoors can also enhance peer-to-peer relationships and student/teacher relationships needed for learning. ”
