Mission
Thistle Nook’s primary mission is to connect the young child with the beauty and rhythms of nature, bringing joy and vitality to their educational experience.
Thistle Nook provides a unique early learning opportunity by allowing the freedom to learn through direct exploration of the natural world. Through their deepening interest and kinship with nature, enlivened by care, connection, attachment, song, poetry, dance, and storytelling, we guide the child toward resilience, balance, and social growth.
Vision
Thistle Nook is passionate about getting children excited for outdoor learning and protecting wholesome, child chosen, play experiences in a safe and nature based environment.
Philosophy
