The Preschool Experience

Blackberry Blossom offers morning preschool classes from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for children ages 3-5 years.  We offer three schedules:  Monday/Wednesday, Tuesday/Thursday or Monday through Thursday.  Our next school year begins August 31, 2026 and ends May 27, 2027.  Each class can have up to 5 children.  

On a typical day at Blackberry Blossom you may find us concocting potions in the mud kitchen, hanging out with our feathered friends, creating art, moving our bodies joyfully, and observing and experimenting with the natural world.  We also have the children experience daily work that contributes to the homestead. This may include feeding the animals, collecting eggs, watering plants, filling bird feeders, or gardening. Preschoolers love real work, and the benefits are a beautiful thing to behold! Every day, we will be enjoying quality literature, doing real world math, and having meaningful conversations with one another.

As a small preschool, we have the freedom to enjoy experiences and projects best suited to the interests, abilities, needs, and development of the children we serve.  But no matter what we are doing, nature and play are at its heart. Check out our Gallery to see a little more of what our preschoolers experience at Blackberry Blossom.

Seasonal Rhythm

We strive to create both a seasonal and daily rhythm to our school year that creates a consistent and natural place for your child to thrive.  Mother Nature herself will help determine what our activities look like for each season.  In the fall, you may find us creating art with leaves, enjoying the bountiful harvest, or having fun with pumpkins.  Come winter, we will be doing lots of gross motor activities to stay warm, experimenting with ice and snow, and feeding the birds.  When spring rolls around, we will be sowing seeds, making mud pies, and welcoming back warm weather and water play.
