This past August, the Nest Nature School welcomed three classrooms full of excited 3- to 5-year-olds when the school opened its new campus at Herff Farm. As The Nest begins the enrollment season for the 2022-23 school year, the school will be opening its doors and hosting an open house on Saturday, February 5, to help interested families and community members get to know the school and its unique program a little better.
At the Nest Nature School, we are nurturing strong bodies, inquisitive minds and wild hearts. The school has a cohesive learning community among all of the classes and employs best practices from several early childhood educational approaches. The children learn through play on the extensive nature-rich campus, which presents many opportunities for expanding critical reasoning, collaboration and creative thought for young children.
The distinctive campus is an integral aspect of the school, and as the preschool of the Cibolo Center of Conservation the curriculum and campus prioritize abundant nature-based opportunities to support the school’s playbased learning philosophy. The students have access to more than 60 acres of pristine natural spaces along the Cibolo Creek, including prairies, trails, forests and gardens.
