Flora and Fauna Learning Center SPC offers a nurturing preschool experience focused on school readiness, joyful learning, and the natural curiosity of early childhood. Through a strong indoor preschool program balanced with meaningful play and exploration outdoors, we help children build confidence, independence, and a love of learning.
Rooted in values of respect, connection, and authenticity, our caring educators create a safe and supportive environment where every child is encouraged to grow—academically, socially, and emotionally—so they feel prepared and excited for their next steps.
The cultivation of fresh foods in Early Childhood is linked to high Ecological Literacy later in life. Further, gardening in a preschool setting fosters the development of math, science, and pre-reading skills in a hands-on way while cultivating community responsibility and ownership.
On Site we have four 4*4 raised vegetable garden beds with trellises, a big rock garden bed for growing corn, beans, and squash together, 3 wildflower garden beds, a blueberry patch, a raspberry patch, and fruit trees.
Creative Problem Solving begins at a young age. Our art centers are not only equipped with the staples found in any preschool program but also include a variety of materials including but not limited to seeds, ribbons, cardboard, flowers, fabric, pipe cleaners, beads, strings, and more!
The inclusion of these materials allows for children to develop refined fine motor, problem solving, collaborative, and more skills as they create objects they may find in their everyday life.
Music and Movement in Early Childhood is linked to increased quality of life. Our indoor and outdoor classrooms are equipped with a wide variety of materials to encourage safe exploration of the physical body and how it moves.
Our Large Group "Circle Time" consists of a Music and Movement Block to further teach to math and pre-reading skills, refined gross motor action, and body awareness in a large group.
Science, Technology, Engineering, ARTS, and Math are a crucial part of Early Childhood Education. At Flora and Fauna we will conduct weekly if not daily activities with the children in our care that include hands-on experiential learning opportunities to explore these areas.

"It’s been a year since my oldest has started and I can’t tell you how much she has grown and flourished, so much so that we are starting our second there next month. .... They are teaching my kid realistically for today’s world and I feel like they will thrive in learning environments with such a healthy start. I also want to say kudos for taking care of their staff too. Happy and well treated staff make a difference and they do a lot to make sure they are healthy and nurtured as well." - Jace G.
"This is the most caring, tender and responsible preschool in town. Every day my 2.5 year old tells me she is excited to go to school and play with friends, and learn about flowers and trees. My 4.5 year old often makes " nature soup" in the large back yard of the school. Darian, the head teacher, makes extra and professional effort to tune in to every little up and down mood of my children. Darian proved that they are a safe keeper of young children in many ways. The other supporting teachers are great as well, super knowledgeable and kind as well as fun! Lots of singing, dancing and nature exploration. I would highly recommend this nature school. I plan to have my youngest there for another 2 years." - Sierra H.
"Flora and Fauna has been exceptional care just when we needed it most! The director loves what she does, that’s easy to see! My little one is happy when I drop her off and when I pick her up! That speaks volumes to a working mom! " - Kristine N.
"Tired of your kid being sick? This learning center is awesome! My toddler has been in great health since coming here. It’s very clean and spacious the kids have a large yard to play in. The teachers love what they do and I always pick up a happy kid. This place is a peace of mind for working parents!" - Tessa W.
