BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
A world of discovery, right outside our doors.
With a spacious play yard, a dedicated outdoor education garden, and access to scenic walking trails along La Cresta Ridge, children have endless opportunities to explore, play, and connect with nature. Our proximity to the Petaluma Wildlife Museum provides even more opportunities for hands-on learning and discovery, encouraging curiosity and a deeper appreciation for the world around them.
Community
Connections that help us grow
Through meaningful partnerships, family involvement, and shared experiences, children build friendships, develop empathy, and discover what it means to be part of a community. Our partnership with the Hillcrest community brings children and seniors together across generations, while our families enrich the classroom by sharing their talents, professions, and interests. From visits with community helpers to hands-on experiences with farm animals and egg hatching, these special moments bring learning to life.
