“The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.”

-Mark Van Doren

  • Our Mission

    Our unique programs aim to foster a love of learning, a positive foundation for later education, and a drive toward creativity. In order to accomplish this, we make use of the natural beauty of Marquette County, our regularly updated knowledge of the way children learn, and our passion for creating individual bonds with children and families.

  • About Our Classrooms:

    Our preschool program consists of three classes.

    PINE—There are 10 children, 30 months-5 years, in our ½ day Pine Class. We have 2 teachers who serve as guides/fellow learners with these children.

    OAK—There are 12 children, 30 months-5 years, in our full-day Oak Class. We have 2 teachers who serve as guides/fellow learners with these children.

    MAPLE/GSRP—There are 20 children, 4 years old, in our full-day Maple Class. We have 3 teachers who serve as guides/fellow learners with these children.

    ‍ ‍

    Students must be at least 30 months old (potty training not required) to enroll. The class spends as much time outside as possible, through all seasons. We can be found at 1010 Silver Creek Rd (the road comes out just past the ski hill or at the first stop light heading through Harvey). Our teaching/guide team are proud of our functional, aesthetically pleasing indoor and outdoor classrooms. The teachers/guides and children alike also love our forest trail/doddle and play system in the surrounding acreage.
