Our Denver Audubon Nature Preschool (DANP) is one of the first licensed outdoor, nature-based preschools in Colorado. Here, children ages 3–6 learn and play in meadows, forests, and along pond edges — guided by curiosity, exploration, and connection with the natural world.


Nature Preschool Volunteers are valued members of our teaching team who help make each day safe, joyful, and full of discovery for young children. Volunteers support the work of the Guides by being attentive observers, helping maintain safe boundaries, and modeling a calm, respectful connection to nature.
