Join us as we wonder, discover and create.
Springwater Preschool
As your child’s first school experience, we endeavor to provide a learning environment that cultivates growth-- socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. We encourage their first steps toward independence and guide them in relationships with others. We cheer their growing capabilities and strive to foster a curiosity in the world around them.
Inviting spaces and learning experiences are designed to encourage students to explore, grow and be adventurous in a community of friends. Materials and activities are chosen with the intention of actively involving children in learning through play, encouraging creative expression, and fostering wonder of our natural world.
Play is the highest form of research
Children are born creative and curious. They are tireless artists, storytellers and scientists. An educator's greatest challenge is to create a nurturing environment where children can play, explore, experiment, take risks, learn and grow.
About Us
Springwater Preschool is an independently operated program on the campus of Springwater Environmental Sciences School (SESS). We were designed in collaboration with Springwater School to provide early learning experiences for 3-5-year-olds in the community. The 2023-2024 school year marks our fifteenth year of serving preschoolers and their families.
