Thorne Nature Preschool Summer Sessions
Thorne Nature Preschool offers summer sessions modeled after the school year program, where children learn and grow in nature. Children in our school year program have priority for enrollment in the summer sessions and we also offer a limited number of spaces for participants who do not attend our school year program.
Summer registration for non-school-year participants opens on 1/9/25 at 5:30 pm. Sign up for our email list below to receive additional announcements about our summer programs.
