Early Childhood Nature Exploration

The Secret Garden

Regina Preschool
Nature Explore Classroom


Tucked away within the Regina Education Center lies a garden blooming with opportunity for the exploration and discovery of nature. Eight different centers and areas give children the space and resources to learn and explore in a safe, natural environment.

Explore a Few of Our Centers

Our Building Area is a circular patio made with cedar tree cookies and stone pavers laid in a spiral.

Our Music and Movement Area has a bell wall complete with 10 bells and a few pot lids for banging around.

Our Quiet Area appropriates an existing large pine tree as a semi-hidden area with a ground of mulch and soft pine needles.

Our Messy Materials Area, healthily littered with bark, pods, and seeds of all kinds, makes its center at a hollowed out stump large enough to be filled with sand.

Our Garden is made up of two  4’ by 8’ raised beds dedicated to seasonal vegetable planting.  The beds are at a perfect height for small folks to weed, plant, and water.
