Natural Art of Play 901 Normandy Avenue South, Salem, OR 97302

"Our son had a phenomenal experience with NAP. He had trouble in traditional preschool and has made huge progress socially-emotionally in just a few months thanks to Abby’s thoughtful, kind way of guiding the kids. We also got lots of cool ideas for outdoor play from his great experiences with NAP."

"This school is the only outdoor preschool in Salem and the very best place to send your child for a play based social emotional preschool/ kindergarten experience. Abby, the teacher and owner, is so wonderful with the children and one of the kindest and warmest people we've ever met. I could not have dreamed up a better place for my child to go. The resilience that my children build by being outdoors year round is so wonderful to see, it gives them the opportunity to be connected to the seasons and our earth in a way that other programs can't. You'll be investing in some gear to keep them comfortable but I can't think of a better gift to give a child than the permission and practice of being outdoors all year."
