Turtle Island Children's Center, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, is a play and nature-based preschool, serving infants through pre-Kindergarteners in Montpelier, Vermont. We are situated on 2.6 beautiful acres along the north branch of the Winooski River.
Early childhood is a wondrous time in human life. Young children are developing millions of neural connections every second. We believe young children are competent investigators, capable explorers, and avid constructors of knowledge about the world around them.
As caring and responsive educators, we provide a diverse, natural environment for their pursuits, and view them as active citizens of today.
