At Nature’s Way Preschool, we provide a caring and positive atmosphere for young learners to thrive.  Students spend the majority of their school day outdoors, allowing them to make deep connections with the natural world. Our play-based activities encourage discovery and exploration. Students participate in sensory rich experiences that develop the whole child, while building cognitive, social-emotional, and physical competencies. Thematic units follow the seasons, allowing our students to help determine our topics of study based on the changing world around them. We immerse ourselves in nature and let the life in our woods guide our studies.

Be sure to decide whether you would like to pay in full or opt in for monthly payments due on the 15th of every month starting in August. 

Minimum deposit required at time of registration. A $100 discount will be applied to the orders of those who pay in full by August 1, 2025. The pay in full prices reflect this discount. If you select monthly payments, you can decide to pay in full at any time. Select the monthly payment option to pay a deposit if you plan to pay in full prior to August 1 but cannot pay the full amount at this time. Please contact the Program Registrar at register@naturecenter.org for more details. Those who have not paid in full by August 1 should expect to be contacted by the registrar to set up monthly recurring payments. 

TUITION PAYMENT Nature’s Way Preschool is able to provide a quality experience for your child directly from your tuition. When registering you will be required to pay a deposit. Then you will have the option to pay the remainder of the 9 months tuition in full or set up a monthly payment plan. Monthly payments will be posted on the first of the month. If you opt out of the monthly payment plan, Nature’s Way Preschool will send you a monthly reminder to make your payment and you will be responsible to log on and post your payments by the first of the month. Full payment is due each month regardless of absences due to illness, vacations, holidays, or inclement weather closings.

WITHDRAW If you withdraw you child prior to August 15, you will not be responsible for the remainder of the tuition, but Nature’s Way Preschool will retain your deposit.
