All Are Welcome!

At Ark Valley Preschool, we are committed to nurturing the whole child through play-based, nature-connected, and inclusive early education. Rooted in the Reggio Emilia philosophy and inspired by the rhythms of childhood, our program supports each child's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development through meaningful relationships and hands-on exploration.

Our weekly programming includes a rich blend of activities such as art invitations, sensory play, music and movement, mindfulness practices, storytelling, and nature walks—woven into a predictable daily rhythm that honors both structure and creativity. Children engage in small group learning, outdoor discovery, and community-building experiences that encourage curiosity, resilience, and joy.

Our educators act as co-learners and guides, creating responsive environments where children are seen, heard, and celebrated for who they are. We believe learning happens best in partnership with families and community, and we are committed to providing supportive resources, inclusive practices, and accessible opportunities for all.
