My Lileigh Pad Nature Preschool

at the lafayette reservoir

what we’re all about !

At My Lileigh Pad, we believe the best way for young children to learn is through outdoor play and exploration! Nature sparks curiosity, boosts creativity, and helps children build confidence as they connect with the world around them.

Our new outdoor preschool program at the Lafayette Reservoir brings all the joys of early learning into the fresh air! Each day includes hands-on art and sensory projects, engaging circle times with stories, songs, and movement, and plenty of time for imaginative play at the playground and open space around us.

We design activities that support each child’s unique pace and personality—making sure learning feels joyful, relaxed, and exciting.

This program is run independently by My Lileigh Pad and offers a special opportunity to experience preschool in a creative, nature-rich way. Our monthly sessions run from September through April, giving your child a full school year of outdoor learning and unforgettable memories!

BENEFITS OF NATURE PRESCHOOL

PLAY BASED LEARNING
We’re a play-based nature preschool where learning happens through hands-on, interactive experiences! Rather than traditional classrooms, we focus on exploration and play—whether it’s playing with our mud kitchens, painting with flowers, climbing trees, balancing on logs, or playing in the creek, we make every learning experience a fun one! Our curriculum balances outdoor adventure with key learning areas like shapes, letters, literacy, and math, all woven into fun, engaging activities that allow children to learn at their own pace while fostering creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

FUN AND EDUCATIONAL CIRCLE TIME

Circle time is a key part of our program! It’s where we gather under a gazebo together to explore the weather, learn the days of the week, numbers, and the alphabet! Through lively songs, dance, stories, games, and interactive group discussions, it’s where children learn, connect, and spark their curiosity—all while having fun and discovering the world around them!

4:1 - STUDENT TO TEACHER RATIO

We keep our class sizes small ensuring your child gets all the attention they deserve! This close-knit setup means more one-on-one time, allowing our teachers to guide, encourage, and tailor learning to each child’s unique needs. Whether we’re exploring the outdoors or splashing in the creek, this small ratio also helps us keep everyone safe while ensuring that your child feels supported, confident, and fully engaged at school!
