Inspiring Environments for Young Explorers
Nature Nest Preschool LLC is currently in the process of obtaining our license with the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood. While we prepare for full preschool programming, we are excited to offer a variety of movement, sensory, and social–emotional classes for children ages 2 and up, available Monday through Friday. These classes provide little ones with opportunities to explore, play, and grow in a nurturing environment—building strong bodies, curious minds, and meaningful connections along the way.

Trunks and Roots
Trunks & Roots is a nature-inspired program designed to help children grow strong bodies and grounded connections. Just like trees, children need both sturdy trunks (core strength, balance, and coordination) and deep roots (social skills, self-regulation, and confidence) to thrive. Through playful movement, obstacle courses, sensory exploration, and cooperative games, we will build the motor foundations that support everyday activities while also practicing the social–emotional skills needed to form friendships and feel connected.
