The Lagoon Playgroup is a parent participation preschool. Under the direction of the Director and Teacher, parents have the unique opportunity to actively participate in school events and engage in the classroom on assigned work days. We believe that children learn best when given the opportunity to explore and discover their natural environment.
We cultivate a culture of self-discovery, problem solving, and inquiry. Our beautiful outdoor classroom offers many daily opportunities for children to engage in hands on learning.
