persevering on long hikes
spending time outdoors in all weather
working with "unpredictable" materials, such as sticks, when building
emulating their older peers in a mixed-age setting
-
Independence
BOPN students learn independence by...

"My son is so excited to share what he learned when I pick him up each day. He's more inquisitive, independent, and fearless than he was before. Since attending preschool at BOPN, he seeks 'activities' rather than asking for screen time."
