"One of the best schools your kid can go. Our kiddo graduated last year and we can say that he loved going to Wildflower every morning and enjoyed the different activities teachers had for him. We were so lucky that a school like Wildflower exists in this area and our kid could experimented and benefited from an outdoor learning environment. We are so grateful for the support and care all the amazing staff from Wildflower put into our kid through the years he was there. Recommended 100%"
"I'm thrilled to share my positive experience with Wildflower! I highly recommend this experience for parents seeking an enriching and child-centered experience for their children. Wildflower Nature Preschool, under the guidance of Director Shelley, epitomizes a culture of kindness, safety, love, and care. Shelley's commitment to creating a nurturing environment has profoundly impacted my child's growth, fostering a sense of belonging and emotional well-being. Her genuine care for the children radiates through every aspect of the school, making it a standout choice for parents who prioritize instilling curiosity in learning, emotional development, and a nurturing atmosphere. Wildflower’s dedication to nurturing children’s social and emotional well-being is evident. Their ability to teach boundaries with warmth, fostering trust and understanding, and teach right from wrong without shame, is truly inspiring. I am so glad I’ve given my child the gift of experiencing Wildflower!"
"The Wildflower School is fabulous. Our 3 year old started here this year and we have had a great experience. The staff is kind, attentive and very dedicated to social and emotional development and resilience. The school is brilliantly set up to maximize children’s independence and safe self-exploration in nature. The outdoor environment is whimsical, full of swings, and there are small wonders at every corner for the kids to discover. The children make art with interesting and unique materials. They even get to interact with bunnies and farm animals! I wish I went here when I was little!"
"We absolutely love Wildflower School. Enrolling our son to the Wildflower School was one of the best decisions we have ever made. We would definitely recommend it to every parent. This school and the staff have been a total game changer for my child. The wrap around approach and caring nature of the teachers have provided him with the confidence to engage in school. Their flexibility and the content of the classes has been great. Real life skills that can be applied today and in the future. Thank you for being a school with positive energy and the ability to think outside the box."
