GGHF Curious by Nature School Main Campus

GGHF Curious by Nature School's Main Campus, located on Wagner Way Northwest, offers a nature-based early childhood program. As part of the Greater Gig Harbor Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the school serves children from toddlers through pre-kindergarten, typically ages 2 to 6. They also offer enrichment classes and camps for school-aged children.

The school's approach is guided by three pillars: Nature-Based Learning, Reggio-Inspired Practices, and Kindergarten Readiness. Children engage in outdoor learning experiences every day, regardless of weather, using the natural landscapes as dynamic learning environments. Their curriculum incorporates nationally recognized programs like Growing Up WILD™ and Get Set For School™, blending child-centered learning with music, language, art, math, science, and exploration of Pacific Northwest habitats.

Teachers at GGHF Curious by Nature School focus on hands-on experiences, child-led exploration, and responsive teaching. They aim to foster independence, imagination, and a love of discovery while preparing students for kindergarten using frameworks like Handwriting Without Tears and Washington State's Gold Standards.
