“Mixed Greens Preschool is a lovely learning environment in an idyllic setting. Director/Owner Heather Black provides excellent, thoughtful language modeling for the social emotional development of her young students and she and her [faculty] work as a team to safely facilitate the curriculum. Heather is very attentive to the developmental needs of the children…”

“We are so so happy with [our daughter’s] experience with Mixed Greens! She has grown and developed as an individual and socially SO much since she started, and it such a reward for me to know she’s got wonderful teachers and kids to be with all day. I think MG is that sweet spot where she is pushed to branch out and test her comfort limits, but in the most reassuring and nurturing environment possible. I worried a lot about finding the ‘right’ place for her cautious and thoughtful nature, and never dreamed she could be so badassedly independent and happy at school. Rock on!!!”
-Jessamyn, Mama of a Mixed Greens grad & Ever Greens camper
“Mixed Greens is an amazing preschool! The teachers are passionate, intelligent, patient, and great with the kids. The playground is like a park with beautiful trees, a wonderful play structure, sandpit, toys and trucks galore. Heather the director/owner is very caring and does a great job creating a sense of community amongst all the families who go there. Being a “green” preschool was the icing on the cake for us. I appreciated that my children learned about nature, enjoyed watching the garden grow and bloom, ate healthy food, and that they had a focus on keeping everyone healthy through good hygiene practices for the children. My older son required some special help and the teachers did a wonderful job adapting to his needs. My 2 sons loved it there and we were very, very sad when we moved out of state. I highly recommend Mixed Greens Preschool!”
