Spots for new preschool students are limited this fall. To be accepted into the 2022-2023 academic year, Berks Nature staff recommends beginning the enrollment process this month. Surrounded by nearly 100 acres of green space in Reading’s Angelica Creek Park, the Berks Nature Preschool infuses nature into all aspects of early learning, with a mission to provide a high-quality education that meets the children’s developmental needs while instilling a lasting appreciation for and meaningful relationship with the natural world.

The Berks Nature Preschool uses the Reggio-Emilia-inspired emergent curriculum as a holistic approach to learning that addresses the physical, social, emotional and cognitive needs of the child. This approach provides growth and development of the whole child through active learning experiences constructed by the children, adults and surrounding environment. It encourages the development for an appreciation and wonder of the natural world that helps the children make discoveries and create connections through experiencing their environment on their own terms and at their own pace.
