What Makes First Light Nature Preschool Different?
|
At First Light Nature Preschool, I believe that kids learn best when left to explore, play and pretend as they are led. When this idea is taken outdoors, not only are the state required developmental play criteria easily met, but they learn the importance of God's wonderful creation and the part they play in it.

I am a Colorado native and am very grateful to live in such a beautiful state. I ran an in-home daycare in Fort Collins from 2009 to 2014 and moved to Loveland in 2015 with the plans of switching from daycare to preschool. In 2016, I was excited to start First Light Nature Preschool out of my SW Loveland home.
I feel that it is my calling to work with children and truly enjoy it. It brings me great joy to see them grow, learn of their own unique giftedness and their significance as a child of God. At First Light Nature Preschool I can guide them in learning literacy, science, basic math and many other important skills all in the context of play and doing the things they love.
I grew up in southern Colorado in a place where my siblings and I had plenty of space to run, play and grow. This is something that I want to provide not only for my own children, but for those in my preschool.
Research has shown that playing outdoors and getting dirty has many social, emotional and physical benefits. To learn more about these great benefits visit the National Wildlife Federation Website below.
