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.

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.
