Hello Families!
Alas, the Halloween festivities surrender to the colder, quieter, November days. I am grateful to introduce you to Ginkgo Blue Nature School, a preschool that has made it onto the short list of state-licensed, full day outdoor preschools in Colorado! Aiming for an opening date in early 2027, you can still join our Founding 15 group of families.
Enrollment is NOW OPEN for our Spring Session Mar 8 - June 16. It is likely we will launch before then, and you are welcome to join.
I am here as a resource for you, whenever you need, now and later. I am constantly learning from and finding new resources from others, as is the job of an educator, so that I’m as prepared as possible for each unique child who comes my way. Understandably, you may have lots of questions. For now, I'll keep this brief and you are welcome to reach out with questions!
