Welcome to Nest Preschool!

Nestled within the non-profit organization Arts Hub in Lafayette, Nest Preschool is a small arts and nature-based preschool program that provides a unique and nurturing environment for young learners to thrive. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our play-based program emphasizes the importance of exploration, discovery, and independence. Driven by the belief that children are to be respected as the unique individuals that they are, and we work in partnership, co-learning together.

Some of the benefits of being a part of the Nest family:

• Nurturing Family Atmosphere: Our small program of only 15 children fosters a warm family-like setting where every child feels known, valued and supported.

• Nature at Our Doorstep: At Nest, children will have plenty of opportunities to run, jump, climb, and explore the natural world. We are ideally situated near Coal Creek and the new Lafayette Nature Center, offering children endless opportunities to explore, play, and learn in a natural setting.

• Art, Nature & Play-Based Curriculum: Play is the foundation of our program where our children learn through being given opportunities to explore, create, and connect with others. Our play-based collaborative program, enriched with arts and nature, invites children to a joyful journey of discovery.

• We are a Universal Preschool provider: We welcome any families enrolled in the UPK program! Our staff is happy to assist you in getting your child enrolled.
