Outdoor Nature based Learning + Summer Camp
(Ages 3-5)
ONB at Carkeek Park
We are a fully licensed outdoor preschool program dedicated to providing a secure and enriching environment where nature serves as the ultimate classroom. Our program is proudly based in Carkeek Park, offering students daily access to a diverse and safe landscape for exploration. While we embrace the elements, we prioritize comfort and safety; our students have consistent access to clean, maintained restrooms, and our environment is supervised by a highly trained staff. This balance of wild discovery and reliable infrastructure ensures a foundation where your child can feel confident, safe, and ready to learn.
​
We believe children learn best through active involvement with people, materials, and ideas.
We utilize the HighScope Curriculum, a proven approach centered on "active participatory learning". We also utilize Reggio Emilia, Time Immemorial,
and Learning in Places.
​​
-
Plan-Do-Review: Children take charge of their learning by making a plan, carrying it out, and reflecting on what they discovered.

Nature as the Ultimate Teacher: By integrating with Seattle Public Parks, we provide a sensory-rich environment that fosters independence and environmental stewardship.
