Lyon Acres Early Years Preschool

Lyon Acres Children's House is a nature-based early years drop-off program on twenty wooded acres in Willington, Connecticut — rooted in Charlotte Mason's philosophy of living books, nature study, practical life, and the unhurried rhythms of the natural world.

We offer two small sessions Monday through Thursday, August through June. Each session welcomes two enrolled children into our family for a total group of 6 children, moving through the day together on trails, in the wildflower meadow, around the family table, and in our woodland discovery room. Our days include ninety minutes of outdoor time in all weather, seasonal snack prepared together, tea, living books read aloud, poetry, gentle conversational Spanish, and the riches — music most weeks with a family member who has twenty years of pre-k experience, and cooking most weeks with a family member who has fifteen years of food program experience.

Morning session serves children ages 2½ to 4. Afternoon session serves children ages 3½ to 6. Tuition is $1,200 per month. Every enrollment begins with a tour.

Enrolling now for September 2026. Spots are extremely limited.
