Pre-K
Our preschoolers explore the outdoors through their curriculum and play. Our Pre-K teachers create scavenger hunts and grounds tours so our youngest learners can see the outdoors around them.
Kindergarten
Kindergarteners inquire about the natural world by taking trips to Baffert Berry Farm to learn about apples and farm life. They also team up with ISU to learn more about the trees on campus!
Third Grade
The third grade outdoor experience uses the ISU horticulture center ISU Horticulture Center to enhance their study of ecosystem. They explore the herb and vegetable gardens, plant rose bulbs (and dig up worms) as well as explored the grounds with a nature scavenger hunt!
Fourth Grade
Fourth Grade ramps up to our formal programming by taking multiple trips to area parks and hiking facilities. In the fall they visit Sommer Park in Peoria, IL and in May, they take a day trip to Starved Rock State Park!
