NatureSTEAM Preschool, inspired by Waldorf, Montessori, Reggio Emilia and traditional schooling philosophies, opened at 201 S. Canyonwood Drive, Dripping Springs, on Jan. 2. The new preschool shares ownership with Nature Preschool Center in Oak Hill. NatureSTEAM Preschool incorporates indoor and outdoor learning, meaning students spend about half their time learning outside.
