Nest of Wonder

Meet the Nest of Wonder classroom. We are a wonderful mix of infants, toddlers, and teachers who are looking forward to getting to know you and your family. When planning activities we take full advantage of our beautiful location in the woods and bring the outside in as often as possible. We also enjoy exploring our campus and community. Some of our favorite places to visit are the H.O. Smith Arboretum and the fountain by the Music Building.
