Whitemarsh Day School is an outdoor play-based preschool that offers a nurturing and dynamic environment for children aged 2.5 to 5 years, fostering growth, exploration, and a lifelong love of learning. Set amidst nature, our program emphasizes hands-on, child-led experiences that encourage creativity, curiosity, and connection with the natural world.

Children engage in activities such as imaginative play, storytelling, art, gardening, and nature exploration, all designed to promote cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Our skilled educators provide a balance of gentle guidance and freedom, allowing each child to thrive at their own pace while developing critical skills like problem-solving, collaboration, and resilience.

We believe that the outdoors is an ideal classroom, where children can discover the wonders of their environment while building confidence and forming lasting friendships. Rain or shine, our preschoolers learn, play, and grow through meaningful experiences that prepare them for the next steps in their educational journey and beyond.

play. learn. explore.
