A nature-based program teaches through exposure to nature and nature-based activities. It will take place in both natural settings outdoors, as well as in the indoor classroom where elements of nature are brought in. Outdoor learning includes discovery, exploration and experimentation, learning about and connecting to the natural world, and engaging in a variety of activities relate to understanding our environment.  Most days we will spend a minimum of three hours outside.  We'll learn about plants and animals, and we'll use these topics to work on the alphabet, our numbers and other age-appropriate skills.

Our days will be filled with hands-on learning, outdoor exploration, gardening, and experimentation. Studies show that spending time in nature leads to better performance in academics, enhanced creativity and problem solving, improved attention, increased enthusiasm for learning and improved behavior.

I Love to Learn, LLC combines the best of “school” (routines, circle time, reading), “camp” (games, arts and crafts, nature walks), and “home” (relaxed environment, homemade meals, naps and play time).  Your child will be well-cared for in a safe and nurturing environment.

My name is Jaime Rombalski, and I grew up here in Central Wisconsin.  My husband and I moved to Kansas City in 2002, and then came back to the area in 2015.  We built a home on 20 acres quite close to where I grew up.  I love being outside. I love birds, animals, the woods, the stream, and I love teaching and children!  I've decided to combine my favorite things and open this family child-care center.
