About this program
The Nature Preschool at Irvine Nature Center provides a supportive early childhood learning environment focused on discovery, experimentation, and connection through nature play. Rooted in the belief that childhood should be joyful and wholesome, the program emphasizes developing empathy, curiosity, and respect. Children spend 75-90% of their day outdoors, exploring Irvine’s 211-acre property with guidance from dedicated teachers. Indoors, learning continues in Montessori and Reggio-inspired classrooms, always designed around the needs and interests of each child. Irvine’s philosophy empowers children to develop confidence, cognitive skills, and social connections through open-ended play and hands-on experiences in nature. The school welcomes families who value outdoor play, community, diversity, and a love for the natural world.
