In the heart of Boerne, nestled on the sprawling 60-acre historic Herff Farm, sits The Nest, a unique, growing preschool. Assistant Director Holly Campbell shared her experience and what makes The Nest Nature School so special Campbell moved to Boerne from San Antonio in the ‘90s. She admits moving from the city was a difficult transition. “It was hard to fit in. Kids already had their friend groups. You know, small towns can be a little more cliquey.”
She remembers the comfort she fortunately found at The Cibolo Nature Center. “You didn’t have to be part of a group, a church, or some club. Just anyone and everyone could come.”
As she grew older, The Cibolo would continue to be a meaningful and welcoming place for her. This inclusivity, she believes, played a pivotal role in shaping her perspective on community and education.
