Welcome to Barnyard Chatter, the official blog of The Nature of Things. Since the best place to start is usually the beginning, we figured we would kick this blog off with an introduction to our humble origins.
The Seed
Founded 13 years ago, The Nature of Things began as a small, private preschool located in an addition to the Gleeson family home. We began to build the school with the intention of reconnecting children with the great outdoors and instilling an appreciation of the natural world. We also aimed to bring children back to a simpler time when kids understood where their food came from and their diets were not filled with additives, pesticides, refined sugars, and artificial colors. Believing we could reach families by educating children and promoting healthy lifestyles, we set off!
