We are excited to announce the grand opening of our Greenspring Nature Center! Come take a peek and meet some of our critters during our Spring Showcase on Friday, June 2nd from 3:00-5:00pm.
We created the Nature Center as an extension of our outdoor learning environments. The Nature Center will allow students to develop a broad understanding of nature, encourage a sense of respect and stewardship for the natural world, and care for all the inhabitants of the center. This nature-based space will offer a dynamic learning space for our students to meaningfully engage with life and the natural world.
“The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.”
– Dr. Maria Montessori
