Dragonflies (Ages 4 to 5)

Curious, playful, and full of wonder, Dragonflies explore the natural world through imaginative play, movement, and story. Every day is an invitation to discover, create, and connect with the rhythms of the earth and the community around them.

We’ll work in the garden, sing songs, play games, listen to stories, and adventure across the landscape in search of whatever catches our eye. We’ll leave plenty of time for playing at our mud kitchen, building fairy houses, and climbing across fallen logs as open play is the true work of childhood. This Dragonflies program is very similar to our school-year Forest Preschool curriculum and is led by our full-time teachers with typically a 1:4 ratio of teachers to students. We invite you to learn more about Forest Preschool here!

"This was our first time at Merrohawke. We loved it so much! Our only regret was not signing up for more weeks!"

"The staff was so welcoming and kind each day. It was clear to us they truly enjoy what they do, and it helped our daughter feel comfortable and have so much fun every day."

Every day at pick up our daughter did not want to leave and before she would finally depart she would want to pick a few little things from the garden(mostly mint) to show us and tell us what she picked and what she can do with it. She made some new friend connections who she’s still talking about. After her last day, when we got home she wanted to pick tomatoes from our garden to give to her Merrohawke teachers. didn’t know, who we now sign him up with every year.
