About Fidalgo Nature School  

Fidalgo Nature School’s mission is to provide quality, accessible, nature-based education for children in the local community, fostering their sense of belonging in the natural world and a lifelong connection with the outdoors.  

Play is central to high-quality early childhood education programs. The kind of play that leads to learning is characteristically self-chosen and directed by the child, which allows children to explore their own theories about how the world works. Children are deeply engaged in this style of learning because it is interesting and meaningful to them.  

Building on what children already know, teachers provide opportunities to discover more and dig deeper. The curriculum is lively and always developing rather than pre-planned. The learning process is documented in various ways to make what children are wondering about visible.  

Fidalgo Nature School is committed to a curriculum that reflects the identities of the children, families, and staff that make up our Skagit & Island County communities with a focus on the children’s interactions with each other, the community and the natural world.  

Our programs currently serve preschoolers. For more information about our school, please see www.fidalgonatureschool.com.
