Hear from Our Families
We’re honored to be part of so many families’ stories. Here’s what they’ve shared about their time with us.
“MNP is an incredibly rare find in the early childhood education realm. The teachers are extremely well qualified and clearly very passionate about their work. They take immense time learning each child’s personality and how they best learn in different environments. They have taught my child how to respectfully interact with the world around them and be a steward of nature. One of my favorite things about MNP is how inclusive they are. I love that they teach my child Indigenous language and help to connect us as a greater community. They genuinely celebrate all of our differences and work hard to make this school a truly equitable and safe space. I honestly couldn’t recommend this school more highly. ”

Minneapolis Nature Preschool is a fantastic and adventurous little community with tons of heart. Every day we hear the stories of what animals they've seen, what medicinal plants they found, and the friendships they've formed. The teachers are wonderful!

We couldn't be happier with Minneapolis Nature Preschool. We love the passionate teachers, experiential, emergent curriculum, responsive and reflective teaching practices and the great care for the social emotional needs of every student.

I love how intentional MNP's curriculum is. Particularly, I appreciate how the teachers are always paying attention to their students and adapt the curriculum accordingly. Anti-racism, gender fabulousness, respecting boundaries, acknowledging death. There is no topic that I don't trust MNP to know how to incorporate into the curriculum in a developmentally appropriate way.
