Rooted in Tradition, Growing Toward the Future

A Quiet Forest Preschool began its journey in 1990 when my parents opened a licensed family child care program—formerly known as Family Child Care. I was just four years old, and I grew up surrounded by the laughter and learning of children in my mother’s care.

For 34 years, my mother lovingly ran the program; creating a warm, nurturing space where children could play, learn, and thrive. She retired in 2024, and I, Meredith, proudly took up the family legacy.

A New Chapter in a Familiar Forest

While A Quiet Forest Preschool continues to honor the traditions of love, exploration, and care my parents instilled, I’ve reimagined the program with my own vision—incorporating nature-based learning, hands-on experiences, and a fresh forest-inspired approach.

Our programs provide:

• Thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor spaces for play and learning.
• A focus on building confidence, independence, and curiosity in every child.
• Family-centered care that treats every child as part of our growing forest family.

“For over three decades, we’ve planted seeds of wonder—nurturing children to grow strong, confident, and joyful.”

We invite you to experience the heart of our forest family; our staff!
