Daily Schedule

The Dandy Lions Outdoor Preschool has a heavy focus in both the garden world (the cultivated), and the natural world (the wild). We spend time getting to know the plants and animals in our gardens, yards, and neighborhoods, as well as those native/common to the forests and fields of the Pacific Northwest. With daily trips into the forest, we learn about plant identification/safety, the healing and nourishing power of plants, and other valuable insights into the world around us. Our school is licensed, insured, and going strong into our third year of learning! Through stories, hands-on experiences, and play, we will explore our world.
