Nurturing Wonders

I can’t recommend Nurturing Wonders Nature School enough. My husband and I believe children should learn through play beyond the early years, and we were thrilled to find a school with the same philosophy! My five-year-old started just a month ago, and his confidence has already grown exponentially. His needs are being met at school in ways I couldn’t have imagined. He is on the autism spectrum and has some sensory issues, so we wanted to find a school that would support him through that. We definitely found it. My son also has asthma, and the one time he needed his inhaler, they were on it immediately. They notified me that he needed it, and his symptoms improved. That showed me how observant and attentive they are, because he doesn’t usually ask for his inhaler on his own. That really put my anxiety at ease! Ms. Precious is kind, understanding, and really helped us (especially me) with the transition. You can tell she is passionate about the environment she is creating for her little wonders! If you’re looking for an alternative learning space that is child-centered and educators who truly speak the language of children, this is a great place to land!

We are only a few weeks in, but I can already see such a difference. In the past, my child really struggled with feeling comfortable enough to leave my side, and other attempts just didn’t work. Ms. Precious and her whole team are absolutely wonderful. They are so genuine, patient, and caring, and you can truly feel how much they love what they do. I love that play is at the center of learning here. My child used to be terrified of mud and bugs, and now she is asking to make mud pies and tells me how bees are our friends. That says everything to me.💗

We are so grateful for Nurturing Wonders and the role it has played in our family’s first homeschool year. It has been such a gift to find a place that truly values childhood, curiosity, creativity, and connection. Our son has grown so much this year — not just academically, but emotionally, socially, and in confidence. The environment is warm, nurturing, and thoughtfully designed for kids to learn through exploration, movement, nature, and hands-on experiences. You can truly feel how much the teachers care about each child as an individual. One of the things we’ve appreciated most is how Nurturing Wonders creates space for children to be kids while still fostering meaningful learning and growth. The community has also been such a blessing for our whole family. If you are looking for a program that protects the wonder of childhood while encouraging learning in a gentle, engaging, and intentional way, we highly recommend Nurturing Wonders.

Sending our kid to Nurturing Wonders has been one of the easiest and smartest decisions as a parent. We were having such a hard time finding a school that is rooted in promoting independence and nature. During the two-ish years we’ve seen our son grow and come out of his shell. We can see their environment they developed encourages him to be himself around new people and surroundings. There is a lot we do as parents (obviously) but finding a solid environment to learn in is so crucial. They also work hard to build a family community with their “bring your adult” day at the end of every semester. Our son get so excited for these events; to show what he’s been up to, play with us at school and be with his friends. Can’t recommend Nurturing Wonders enough!

This school is by far the best school my son has attended. He thrives in the outdoor environment and is excited to tell me what he is learning about every day when I pick him up him up! I also love that they support children up to age 12. The teachers are very patient and attentive you can really tell they love these children and that they love to teach.
