Bayview
Nature Program
Outdoor Classroom
We are the unlicensed outdoor nature program affiliated with Bayview Community Preschool. Jericho Beach Park serves as our outdoor classroom where we venture out to discover the wonders of the forest, wetlands, and beaches. Here the children learn to build shelters, tie knots, climb, create eco art and learn about the vegetation and animals that surround them.
Our Values

Connecting with nature
Building respectful relationships
Creating collaborative partnerships with families

Jr. Stewardship Program
We believe in nurturing the next generation of environmental stewards through our Jr. Stewardship program. This unique program is designed to educate preschoolers/the advanced nature students and their families about important ecological concepts while engaging in hands-on activities that benefit the local ecosystem.
Our Learning Philosophy
At Bayview Nature Program, we believe that learning through play is essential to children’s well being. Play is both fun and empowering, providing spontaneous hands-on stimulating, relaxing, comforting and challenging opportunities. We offer an unhurried environment with meaningful and authentic experiences.
