Our spacious, park-like setting, allows children to experience the natural world as an extension of our indoor environment. Children benefit from spending large blocks of time in the outdoors, and their development is optimized through child-initiated activities, with teacher support. In the outdoors, children use bikes, and climbing equipment to learn how to use their body effectively and to experience the satisfaction of learning a new skill. Sand and water and the ability to creatively use ‘loose parts’, foster self expression and sensory pleasure by working with different mediums. Recent findings in brain development additionally show a direct correlation between what a child does physically and in future academic abilities such as reading, writing, mathematics and creativity.

"This is a fantastic preschool!! My son is three and he loves it. The teachers are wonderful they really care and take an interest in each and every child. I love the fact that you can be directly involved with your child at school and being able to participate in class and interact with the other children. They have a great atmosphere of fun, play , and learning . They have several yearly field trips and a great math and science fair every year. All of the parents work and help each other out . I would recommend this to any parent seeking a quality preschool at an affordable fee to come join FPNS."
