Tiny Hippie Preschool is a soulful little corner of the internet offering nature-inspired ideas for early childhood curriculum design. It’s a space for educators, caregivers, and parents who feel drawn to a more organic, intentional, and heart-led approach to preschool and kindergarten learning.

Here, curriculum isn’t something rigid or boxed in—it’s something that breathes. It flows with the seasons, follows children’s curiosity, and grows from simple, meaningful moments rooted in nature, play, and presence.

We lean into the beauty of slow learning, using natural and recycled materials, hands-on exploration, and practical life experiences to inspire gentle, grounded learning environments. There is space here for wonder, simplicity, creativity, and connection to the Earth.

Tiny Hippie Preschool was created by Holly Beneteau, RECE, NAMC, an early childhood educator with over 25 years of experience. Holly weaves together Montessori principles, nature-based learning, and holistic pedagogy to offer a thoughtful and inspired approach to curriculum design.

This website exists as a collection of ideas, reflections, and inspiration—inviting you to soften your planning, trust the process, and bring a little more earth, art, and soul into your early learning practice.
