About the Provider

The Schuylkill Center Nature Preschool immerses children ages 3-5 in nature and the outdoors, while preparing them for the intellectual, social, emotional and physical challenges of kindergarten.

Scientific research in early childhood development is revealing the critical connection between time spent in nature and a child’s developing brain. Immersive time in nature fosters a child’s intellectual, emotional, psychological and physical growth.

"The joy of discovery, the thrill of adventure and the peace of being in nature are a part of the children’s everyday experience at Nature Preschool."
- Gail Farmer, Schuylkill Center Director of Education

The Schuylkill Center Nature Preschool will give your child the nature they need, while fully preparing them for school. Our classroom opens directly onto our 340-acre nature preserve, giving children a unique opportunity to explore and learn about their relationship to the natural world in a risk-managed environment.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
