Outside our students will have the opportunity to explore nature at our frog pond, or take nature hikes in the woods, or even have fun gardening. We have over 2.5 acres of land to explore and have adventures together!

FOOD PROGRAM
Pollywogs believes in a holistic approach. We believe in the whole development of a child; nourishing mind and body. Every year the pre-school children plant a beautiful vegetable garden. This year we will use that garden in our whole food program. The children will grow their own food that will be used in their meals. We use natural composting for fertilizer and we do not use pesticides. I am so excited to announce Pollywogs will offer all meals and snacks. We will use only whole, natural, non-processed food. We have chickens and fresh eggs. Food prepared by a gourmet chef!
