BOISE, ID — Enrollment is open for fall sessions of outdoor preschool at the Foothills Learning Center and Boise Urban Garden School. This unique and affordable program immerses children in the environment and encourages stewardship, exploration and hands-on learning.

An outdoor preschool is a place for children to learn in an outdoor environment through exploration and play. Through this creative learning environment, children are also preparing for kindergarten.

Children who learn in this environment are taught a special love and respect for nature and their surroundings. There are more opportunities to explore by listening, looking, smelling, and touching while also using their imagination in a play-based learning environment.
