At St. Mary’s Preschool, our teachers view the outdoor environment as an extension of the classroom, providing valuable opportunities for holistic learning.

Here, children are encouraged to utilize their entire bodies, fostering exploration, cooperation, and movement without the constraints of noise or limited space.

Mirroring the thoughtful setup of our indoor classrooms, outdoor spaces are designed with emergent learning in mind. Various centers offer tools and time for children to engage in diverse activities, from relaxing spaces for reading and chatting to blocks for constructing towering structures. The sand areas provide opportunities for playful splashing and mud creation.
