TUITION & ENROLLMENT

Tuition Includes Supplies & Meal/Snacks

Annual Deposit of $100, applied to first month of tuition.

Quarterly Enrollment

Enrollment Requirements

We accept children that are 3 - 5 years old.  Since we enroll quarterly, we can welcome your child whenever they turn three (fall, winter, spring, etc.), so long as there is space  Children must be potty trained to attend. Families will be invited to visit the program or with a teacher before enrollment to ensure a good fit.  Be mindful that children will walk from 1 - 1.5 miles per day (stopping often as preschoolers do).

Prioritization/ Flexibility

We are committed to creating an easy pathway to participation in nature-based preschools for children of color.  Please contact us for more details.

Gear Library

We have a small, but growing, gear library for families to check out items of our required clothing. Please ask!

MEAL & SNACKS

Purchased from The Olympia Food Coop and Local Bakers and Farmers

We serve “Grab and Go” trail snacks that are available whenever your child needs it.  These are high protein snacks often with nut/ seed butter, flax seeds, chia, coconut, honey and a dried fruit.

2nd Breakfast: At 10:30 we serve a meal that we call “2nd Breakfast” (Hobbit humor alert!)  We find that children are so active at our school that by the time 10:30 rolls around they are in need of a full trailside meal.  Here’s an example of a 2nd Breakfast Menu:

Corn Muffins and Jam

Cheese

Chickpeas or Beans

Seasonal Fresh Fruit & Veggies

Dried Fruit like Dates or Apricots

Rice Cakes

Nuts or Seeds (Cashews, Almonds, Sunflower Seeds)

And more!

Our Forest Preschool Days take place at Squaxin Park and occasionally at McLane Nature Trail & Woodard Bay. 

Our Art Studio & Garden is located near the Garfield Nature Trail on the Westside of Olympia.
