Discover the Wonder of Nature Play
Established in 2014, Wind Ridge Schoolhouse is a vibrant neighborhood nature preschool in Duluth, MN.
The Schoolhouse is a Cedarsong Way Accredited School.

Embracing Nature: Growth Through Exploration
Immersed in nature, young children
– nurture and strengthen their sense of self
– build meaningful friendships
– explore and learn through curiosity, inquiry, hands-on experience, and storytelling
Nature play is the heart of the day and through self-guided nature play with peers, young children explore and practice interacting with others, developing creative ideas, and sustaining imaginative play.



Brave & Kind, Hardy & Free
With only 8 children in the program each day, the class size supports a gentle, child-centered approach to preschool. There is room for everyone’s voice with space and time to let imagination and wonder flourish.
Children’s seemingly-inherent knowing that all beings are relatives – plants, animals, and people, too – is fostered and supported. When children leave the nest of Wind Ridge Schoolhouse, they are brave and kind, hardy and free.
