Innovative and Enriching Preschool and Before & After School Programs for Children 3-12 Years Old

The goal of Nature’s Nursery programs is to develop confident, motivated lifelong learners with strong academic skills, inquisitive attitudes, keen social intelligence, and critical, creative thinking abilities. A quality learning process encourages children in hands-on discovery and interaction with nature and animals at our farm and unique outdoor spaces. We celebrate each child’s strengths, respecting their individual needs and allowing them to explore in an accepting, nurturing environment.

Our Preschool program meets New York State academic curriculum standards along with creative and enriching activities such as arts & crafts, community service projects and nature study. Before & After School programs feature age-appropriate recreation activities, as well as homework help and group projects to engage young minds.

Schedule a tour and see our littlest learners in action.

Beetle the Appaloosa

Beetle, an Appaloosa horse, joined the Green Chimneys equine program from a private farm in Connecticut. He has a diverse background in multiple riding disciplines; his previous owner kept him in excellent condition through long-distance trail riding. Beetle also had basic training in the sport of Dressage, as well as jumping and other competitive events. Appaloosas are known for their beautiful spotted coats and typically have a small build.
