Science & Nature

Pixie Hill Preschool’s unique backyard setting affords students an opportunity to value and become aware of nature.  Our curriculum themes during the year reflect children’s innate fascination and desire to explore using their 5 senses. At Pixie Hill, teachers offer science and nature learning both inside and outside the school classroom.  Sensory table activities and simple experiments invite our budding scientists to discover.

Plants & Trees

Our towering maple tree on the playground provides a nature lesson for all seasons, from changing leaves to bare branches to the explosion of new spring growth.  Rare is the child who misses an opportunity to dig in the soil. Our garden boxes allow children to see their hand-sown seeds mature into flowering plants. In the spring we enjoy planting our own flowers and caring for them throughout the season. We also take home vegetable starts to plant in our gardens at home.
