Our Mission & Educational Philosophy

---

The mission of Hugging Tree Nature Preschool is to meet the developmental needs of the whole child, while cultivating a lifelong appreciation of the natural world. 

We believe...

• All children can learn.
• All children learn in their own way.
• Children grow and develop at different rates.
• Children learn best when the subject is relevant to them. 
• Children need to be children. They need plenty of time to play, and plenty of practice and opportunities to work on social skills in a safe environment.  
• Helping children develop a positive self image and become socially competent is the best foundation for their future.
