We sent our daughter to Nature Nurture for the outdoor time in the Presidio(walks in the forest, digging for worms, dirt cakes– things we don’t get so easily in an urban setting). But we ended up realizing it’s sooooo much more! The small group setting allows for individual attention from the teachers, teaching the kids learn how to get along with others, respect feelings, manners and good behavior. The pace is slow(which is good in today’s fast-paced world) and the teachers use responsive language, patience, respect and humor. Love it. Highly recommended.
