Chickadees, our summer preschool program for 3 to 4-year-olds!
The Summer Farm & Forest Preschool Chickadee program is for our littlest campers ages 3 and 4. Tucked away from the crowd the Chickadees are based out of our ice house on the far side of Ketcha. The ice house is a cozy cabin renovated to accommodate our preschoolers set in an expansive forest play space. Chickadees follow a day typical of our popular school year preschool program. Nature based themes and activities, stories, games, crafts and daily circle time. There is abundant open play time for exploring and learning in the woods, the garden, at the farm, and hiking the trails. Chickadees have water play time throughout the day. This program runs under our childcare license.
