Overview
The Nature Preschool Teacher is responsible for creating learning goals for children that support our inquiry and nature-based developmental program.
The Nature Preschool Teacher goals are to encourage students’ awareness, understanding, appreciation and protection of the environment, foster empathy and kindness towards others, and build a strong foundation of learning through hands on sensory experiences, constructing their knowledge, and skill building in all areas of development.
