Nifty Littles

Nature + Nifty Kids = Happy Kids!

"The instructors were all very friendly and clearly very engaged with the children. When I picked the boys up they didn't want to leave and all the instructors were playing with or interacting with the kids. It was great!"

Jeremy, Nifty Summer Camp Parent

Our Program

Nifty Littles is a Montessori inspired, outdoor-experiential education program for children 3-6 years old. Our classroom holds an 8 student to 2 teacher ratio. We provide practical-life work, grade level academics, cultural lessons, plenty of outdoor play and weekly experiential education experiences.

Schedule

Our classroom has easy access to the outdoors, where we extend our classroom with outside works. Students can take any work outside at any time. We also always spend an hour or more outdoors each day engaged in uninterrupted student led play.

Nifty Littles is a PrK-Kinder classroom. Students may start with us at 3 years old, if they are fully potty trained and exit our program at 6 years old after completing a full year of Kindergarten with us. Our classroom ratio is 8 students with 2 teachers.

Our Year-Round School Calendar operates on a quarterly schedule.

Montessori + Outdoor Ed.

Dr. Montessori says,

"Let the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find a puddle of water; and, when the grass of the meadows is damp with dew, let them run on it and trample it with their bare feet; let them rest peacefully when a tree invites them to sleep beneath it's shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them in the morning as it wakes every living creature that divides its day between waking and sleeping."
