Almost! We have about an hour of indoor play each day. We also eat lunch and have nap time inside. Otherwise, we are out exploring the world all day!
What is the student to teacher ratio?
Our preschool has space for sixteen students. We have two teachers at all times.
Are there ticks in the prairie?
Being in a forest or prairie often means finding a tick or two. We make sure to do frequent tick checks, and use the appropriate repellant when necessary.
What if it's raining?
We have great rain gear that will keep the children dry! Children love playing in the rain. If there is thunder or lightning, we will go inside for 10 minutes.
What about extreme cold?
Children wear many warm layers in the cold weather. Plus, we are so busy running around that we hardly notice the cold! If there is an extreme cold advisory- where the air is so cold that it might hurt the children, we will play inside.
What if it's really hot outside?
Our yard has lots of shady spots, which provide relief from the heat. We also do lots of water play, drink extra water, and make sure we are all wearing appropriate clothing when it's really hot outside.
