SLS Peace Garden

SLS Preschool is an Urban Independent program located in the city of San Francisco. We have a unique roof top environment where we have been developing an outdoor program, and interactive garden space for our student’s ages 3-5 years old. We have named our roof top space the Peace Garden, the values of our program emphasise respect and mindfulness. It is an opportunity to introduce children, possibly for the first time to an outdoor classroom. Children are learning where food comes from, along with the importance of how it is grown.
