What Parents Say
Parents overwhelmingly praise Forest Hill Nature Preschool for its outdoor-focused, play-based curriculum and caring staff led by owner Lavonne. The facility emphasizes nature education, animals, enrichment activities, and emotional development. One parent reported staff disorganization and cited concerns about staff diversity.
I wish I sent my child here sooner. I love that they go outside when other schools do not. Let kids be kids. My child was labeled the problem child at Celebree across the street but FH Nature Preschool understands every kid is different and takes the time to help kids regulate their emotions. My kid is night and day compared to before and is thriving here. I also love that they have different subject teachers and go on field trips. And classroom pets!
FHNP has been the absolute best program for my daughter. We have had a great experience since we enrolled her. The staff has been great and the teachers are absolutely amazing. The teachers regularly update the parents through the day with pictures and messages. My daughter has created so many bonds with all of the staff. There is even an animal in almost every classroom, which is a huge plus for the kiddos!!! They encourage as much outdoor time as possible and have so many cool experiences (splash day, color run, petting zoos, foam parties, spanish, etc.).
We love this school. The atmosphere is welcoming and it is clear that both the school leadership and teachers care deeply for the wellbeing and education of the children. The kids have outside time every day and an abundance of activities. I only wish we had started here sooner!
We love this preschool. Lavonne is incredibly organized, knowledgeable and responsive. The teachers are amazing! We love the curriculum, the animals and the amount of time the children go outside and play regardless of the weather. Our son has learned so much already in the last year! He gets very excited to go there, enjoys his teachers, the activities and making friends. Oh and the tuition is very reasonable! Highly recommended!!
We love Forest Hill Nature Preschool! I have a background in early childhood education and experience working with preschool age children. I was very particular about what I wanted while looking for a preschool for my 3 year old daughter. I did not want to send her to one of those big box daycare centers. I wanted a program that was research based, progressive, and run by people who truly care about what's best for the children. This program is absolutely amazing! No other preschool in the area compares. Ms. Lavonne and her staff of teachers have created a safe, warm, inclusive, and nurturing environment for our young children to have their first life experiences out of the home. On top of the normal preschool curriculum the school also offers Yoga, Spanish, Art lessons, Wild in the Woods (science and nature), reading instruction for 4 year olds, as well as multiple field trips throughout the year. My daughter has been thriving st FHNP. Every day when she wakes up she asks me if it’s a school day! She only goes 2 mornings a week, but after 3 months we are already planning on participating in the summer program and will be enrolling full time next year. Affordable tuition rates are just the icing on the cake. Any other preschool in the area costs at least $100 more per week. This is the best preschool program and I am so grateful my daughter has the opportunity to be a part of something so special.
