Little Rubies Preschool is a Farm & Nature-Based Learning program where children learn through hands-on, project-based experiences aligned with the Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIPS). Students spend a significant portion of each day playing and learning outdoors while exploring in nature. All lead teachers hold elementary education degrees, with additional licensure in areas such as STEM, early childhood, and advanced graduate studies. Learning is celebrated and shared with families through monthly projects and photos. Our full-time, on-site Chef Ali provides two snacks and a healthy, from-scratch lunch daily, with monthly menus shared in advance, creating a nourishing environment where students can grow academically, socially, and joyfully.
