Learning Moore Through Nature & Play
A day program for the free-spirited.
Quick Peek at our Week
Our facility is designed to bridge the gap between emotional, physical, social and cognitive skill sets. Our aim is to bring these together through outdoor exploration and through play, instilling both creativity and confidence. We are excited for parents, staff and children to play, learn and grow together along the way.
Monday
Music & Movement with Molly Rahe Randall.
Children are encouraged to use their bodies to plan, sequence and coordinate motor movements while staying in rhythm with the musical beats. By doing so, they develop strength and coordination.
Tuesday
Creative expression Tuesdays.
Creativity improves the mood, boosts self esteem, improves cognitive function, alleviates stress & anxiety and improves an individuals overall well being. Children tune into their creative side with crafts, experiments and more.
Wednesday
Working it out Wednesday, learning to problem solve and decision make with peers.
Board games offer opportunities for early learning. Board games can boost language skills, sharpen a child's focus, teach the value of team work and can soothe daily stressors.
Thursday
Thoughtful Thursday. We learn and discuss ways to care for ourselves and others.
Learning about gratitude and responsibility early on can improve a child's quality and appreciation for life. Yoga is utilized as a grounding technique to promote mindfulness and calmness.
Friday
Foodie Friday filled with baking and cooking activities throughout the day.
Togetherness starts in the kitchen. We place emphasis on eating together and being present during mealtimes. Mealtimes are utilized to promote language development and positive relationships.

Mission Statement
Learning Moore Through Nature & Play is a nature based day program for children ages 3 -12 years old. This program encourages children to embrace nature and the great outdoors through hands on learning and unstructured play throughout all four seasons. During a child’s time at Learning Moore Through Nature & Play, they will embrace their own emerging talents and skills through innovative nature based learning. Nature based learning encourages children to kick off their shoes, play in the dirt and embrace their inner selves while building skills and the ability to play without the need for parental or adult control. Through our program, children are constantly being exposed to new activities and environments and given the ability to thrive. We build on the strengths and interests of each child to help build a solid foundation for their futures.

Our Curriculum
This day program is designed to encourage learning through play & engaging children with the natural environment. We believe in a semi-structured approach that allows children to participate in their own decision making. Doing so, allows the children to learn through doing and creative thinking in order to increase individuality and expression.

"We LOVE this wonderful preschool! My son has social anxiety and he runs in every day no problem. I know he feels safe with Olivia and has fun too. I love that he gets to spend hours outdoors instead of just a short period of time. Olivia is so loving and patient as well, she has been the perfect teacher for him, I can't say enough good things about this school!" - Cody-Paige L.

"I was DESPERATE for my 5yr old daughter to make friends since we recently moved from Washington! I was looking for a last minute sitter and someone suggested Olivia Moore's program! I called and messaged and within the hour I was driving to Olivia's FUN house for a miracle last minute drop-off; she was happy to help! Best birthday present ever was Miss Olivia- we can't wait to go back and play and learn! Definitely would recommend!!" - Janna D.
"My daughter just had her first day here. She was born March 2020 so hasn’t had the opportunity to go to childcare and I wasn’t sure how she’d do. She absolutely loved it! I had to drag her out of Miss Olivia’s house. So glad we found this daycare." - Cynthia B.
