iNATURE Preschool
Where children grow through nature, connection, and real life.
"Serving families across the greater DMV - Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland."
A Nature-Based Approach to Early Childhood
At iNATURE Preschool, children grow through real experiences—movement, sensory exploration, collaboration, imagination, and deep connection with the natural world.
Our program nurtures the whole child by weaving together nature-based learning, emotional intelligence, social connection, communication and early language skills, creativity, physical development, and emerging cognitive problem-solving. These capacities come to life outdoors through meaningful play, inquiry, movement, and responsive relationships with caring educators.
Our educators are a core strength of iNATURE.
All teachers are trained in the Rooted Action Method™ and have grown through years of real-world practice with children and families. They are not only credentialed, but have been continuously developed, observed, and selected through layered, hands-on experience—forming a highly skilled, relationship-centered professional team.
Inspired by The Rooted Action Method™, our preschool treats nature as an active co-teacher and relationships as the foundation of learning. Children develop confidence, curiosity, empathy, resilience, and a grounded sense of self—not through worksheets or rigid routines, but through real moments that invite thinking, feeling, creating, solving, and growing.
Our programs support toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-K learners through developmentally responsive experiences that honor each child’s pace and individuality. Our approach remains constant: child-led, nature-based, emotionally attuned, and designed for whole-child growth.
Every day at iNATURE is built to help children thrive—rooted in nature, supported by caring educators, and shaped by the real world.
