🌲 Forest Fridays are BACK! 🌲
We are so excited that our preschoolers are heading back to Doane this spring for one of our absolute favorite traditions!

There is nothing quite like seeing our youngest learners explore the great outdoors. This incredible collaboration with Doane University provides such a rich, hands-on educational experience, and our students (and staff!) look forward to.

From discovering local nature to building teamwork skills in the fresh air, Forest Fridays are more than just a field trip—they’re where some of our best memories are made! 🍃✨

Check out these smiles from our first outing! 📸👇

The survey takes just 5–10 minutes and is open through April 17.
