Our Philosophy

Nurturing Independence Through Play

At Dirt Learning, we believe in the power of play-based learning to cultivate independence and confidence in children. Our philosophy centers around child-led exploration, where young learners are encouraged to make choices, build connections, and discover the world around them. By fostering a supportive environment, we empower children to take charge of their learning journey, laying a strong foundation for future academic success.

Kind Words

What Families Say

My daughter, Cadence, had a great time at this preschool. She learned through nature and this school helped immensely with emotional regulation. Ms Christi is the best!
Briana Payne · Parent
Christi has always been a special being. Her way of thinking is what the world needs now. She lives and will teach children to live outside the box. Some of my best days were spent building dam systems on the side of what is now her sister's house in Roy. A very creative outlet for kids.
Mark Tanner · Parent
Christi is amazing and helped my son assimilate to a classroom environment. She understood the special needs and requirements of my son when no other school could. My son loves school now because of her! She always made my son feel loved and special and always welcome. She is a forever friend and my family is forever grateful.
