Mission

AT MSCC, CHILDREN LEARN OUTDOORS MOST OF THE DAY, WHERE WE EXPLORE AND BUILD COMMUNITY. OUR PROGRAMS ENCOURAGE DISCOVERY AND COLLABORATION VIA NATURE-BASED, EMERGENT (CHILD-LED) CURRICULUM, AND ALL PROGRAMS ACCOMMODATE STUDENTS WITH DIVERSE NEEDS. OUTDOOR EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF CURIOUS MINDS, STRONG SPIRITS, GROWING BODIES, AND CARING HEARTS. IN SHORT, WE USE THE NATURAL WORLD AS A TEACHER TO HELP FOSTER ATTRIBUTES WE WANT TO SEE IN OUR COMMUNITY AT LARGE.WE ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION THROUGH OUR FOUR PROGRAMS: EVERGREEN (A LICENSED CHILD-CARE AND PRESCHOOL), WILLOW (A LICENSED OUTDOOR, NATURE-BASED PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN/FIRST GRADE TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM), SUMMER CAMPS (WEEK-LONG CAMPS FOR PRESCHOOL THROUGH THIRD GRADE), AND SEEDLINGS (A TODDLER PROGRAM).
