Our Forest Preschool, Our Home

Daisy Trails Forest Preschool is located at 54 Shoreline Circle in beautiful Incline Village, NV, 89451. Nestled near the shores of Lake Tahoe, our program is grounded in nature-based, child-led learning for infants and toddlers ages 1 month to 4 years. While we are licensed for all ages, our heart lies in nurturing the youngest learners.

Our days are spent almost entirely outdoors, where children are free to explore, imagine, and connect deeply with the natural world. Our dedicated indoor and outdoor spaces are safe, inspiring, and developmentally appropriate—thoughtfully equipped with open-ended materials that encourage creativity, confidence, and joy.

Daisy Trails is fully licensed by the State of Nevada and proudly participates in QRIS (Quality Rating and Improvement System) and NAFCC (National Association for Family Child Care) accreditation. Our experienced teachers hold degrees in Early Childhood Education and are certified Forest School Leaders at Level 1, actively working toward Level 8 certification by next June.

We provide wholesome, homemade meals and snacks created by our amazing Chefs Dean and Wyatt. We offer a consistent daily rhythm filled with rich, meaningful experiences—art, music, movement, sensory play, storytelling, and project-based learning that follows the children’s interests and developmental needs.

At Daisy Trails, we honor childhood. We believe in slow, intentional care where curiosity is welcomed, relationships are cherished, and every child is truly seen.

Our Teachers

Harmony

Harmony Shreve founded Daisy Day Care in 2003. She has been a Child Care Provider for 28+ years and has loved every minute of it. She also holds a AA degree in Early Childhood Education. Moving to Tahoe allowed her to bring Nature into the preschool classroom everyday. Nurturing a love of community and outdoors in our preschool kids is the way she prefers to spend her days. She is continuing her education in ECE at UNR and Scotland Froest school leader trainings.  

Dean Shreve is our Chef as well as an assistant teacher and a wonderful and patient caregiver. He has grown up here at Daisy Day Care. After 7 years in a commercial kitchens (Soule Domain, Lone Eagle), He can be found cooking gourmet meals and teaching Tahoe kids to ski and enjoy all Tahoe has to offer. He also has graduated from LTCC with an Associate Early Childhood Education degree this year.

Wyatt Shreve is our second assistant teacher who has also grown up at Daisy Day Care. While enrolled at LTCC for art he also finds time to lead toddler art classes and prep many play areas. Wyatt is a big part of successful play days and we are so grateful to have his help. 

Discover

We recognize the benefits of play based learning where children learn to communicate their thoughts, feelings and needs to others, lengthen their attention span and develop their creativity. Children are invited to play and explore in a secure environment where they can confidently tackle new situations and discover their surroundings

Learn

All our staff not only provide children with a solid foundation in literacy, scientific-mathematical thinking, and soci-emotional development, but seek to promote a life-long appreciation of learning through emphasis on the joys of discovery and the empowerment of choice. Our core curriculum is enhanced by activities that allow for children to creatively express themselves, such as dramatic play, music, movement, art and dance.

Grow

With the first years of a child’s life being critical to shaping a child’s future, health and development, we acknowledge that the changes we make to improve our children’s environment can have a profound impact on their small bodies. Therefore we are committed to reducing environmental hazards in our centers and providing children with an eco-healthy environment so they can grow into healthy adults

Enrichment Activities

Enrichment classes are part of our daily routine! We are excited to welcome several enrichment teachers from our community to help us learn and grow! Classes do vary by season. Currently, we offer ski and snowboarding,  Tai Chi, Yoga, Music, Dance, soccer, and paint and sippy cup classes. breath and balance. 

What They Say About Us…

Harmony is amazing. I go to work every day with my mind at ease knowing my child is in the best care. My daughter loves Harmony and gets excited to go see her everyday. On top of all that she has the most reasonable prices in town! The only other place that could even come close to her prices did not include any food, Harmony not only provides all food but it’s all healthy and well balanced! She even saves my daughter breakfast when we are running late. She really is a lifesaver for our family!

Daisy Day Care was amazing! Very accommodating, and had different childcare options tailored to your preference and convenience. We went to Incline for the weekend, and decided to do “grown ups night out” last minute. Harmony was available and cared for my 3 kids (ages 9, 7, and 5). My kids raved about the great time they had, and how nice Harmony was. Great experience for all of us, and we will definitely be giving Daisy Day Care a call the next time we are back in Incline!

Harmony is an excellent caregiver. We dropped off our twin girls (2 years old) at Daisy Day Care for three days during a dad work and mom ski week in Tahoe. When I dropped them off for the first day they were noticeably scared and cried as I left. Harmony told me not to worry that she would calm them down and take care of them. She sent text messages to my wife updating her on what was going on throughout the day. By the time we picked them up on the third day, they didn’t want to leave the place! Oh, and don’t forget about the lunches and snacks provided — one less thing for us to do in the mornings as we got them ready for the day. We’ll be back to Tahoe and I’m sure we’ll use Daisy Day Care again! Thanks, Harmony!
