Salamander Nature Awareness School is a small preschool program taking preschoolers on outdoor adventures daily. Our 2 day forest preschool classes of 3- to 5-year-olds spend time in the beautiful parks here in Silicon Valley. Parent and Child classes for 2 to 3 year olds are offered on a varying basis. Out in nature the children hike, play with each other and what they find, hear stories and enjoy a healthy lunch. As many studies show, allowing children to experience nature regularly is important for their physical, emotional, social and intellectual development. The teacher shares her love of nature and environmental stewardship with the children. Their health and safety is of primary importance as they have time for child directed play and learn to interact with care for each other and nature. Salamander School offers a unique preschool experience meeting in the parks around San Jose.
