Arcadia Nature Preschool is a pioneer in nature-based early childhood education, proudly recognized as Mass Audubon’s first nature preschool and one of the oldest nature preschools in the country.

For 50 years, we’ve inspired generations of young learners to build meaningful connections with the natural world, fostering a sense of wonder, belonging, and stewardship.

Celebrate Arcadia Nature Preschool’s milestone birthday with family-friendly activities, self-guided tours, hikes to your favorite places at the sanctuary, and light refreshments. 

Come share your memories, create new connections, and help honor five decades of nature-based learning and community.
