Our Programs

Prairie Flower Children’s Center honors unpressured childhood as a critical time for healthy development. Prairie Flower programs provide dynamic, rhythmic and holistic learning environments experienced through the senses. Children learn through imitation, immersion in free play, creative movement and exploration of the woods near the center.

For the 2023-24 school year we are offering three programs:
  • Morning Song preschool -- a morning preschool and mixed-age kindergarten program, offered Monday - Friday, 8:00-11:30 a.m.
  • Day Song preschool -- a full-day preschool preschool and mixed-age kindergarten program, offered Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
  • PoemTree Afterschool Nature Club -- a nature club for children 5 to 12 years old, offered Monday-Friday, 3:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. and designed to give children free play in nature after school ends (homeschoolers welcome too!).

Wholesome & Holistic

Prairie Flower provides children with natural materials and playthings; organic, whole foods; and kind, loving relationships in which to grow and practice their interpersonal skills. We strive to make everything in the children's environment and all our behaviors worthy of their imitation. 

Families involved with Prairie Flower also get to participate in many seasonal community events, celebrations and parent education programs.

Cooperative Structure


Families gather to develop community and work cooperatively to support their children's education, and each other, through the challenging and rewarding season of parenting young children.
