What We Learn
Nature Studies
Children learn about plants, animals, weather, and ecosystems through direct observation and hands-on exploration. We follow the seasons, tracking changes in our environment.
Animal Care
Daily care of Cooper, Marvin & Maynard, Roo and the girls, Leo & Tootsie, Dixie, and Bear teaches responsibility, empathy, and where our food comes from.
Gardening
From seed to harvest, children participate in all aspects of growing food. We compost, save seeds, and learn sustainable practices that care for the earth.
Creative Arts
Nature-inspired art, music, drama, and storytelling are woven throughout our days. Children work with natural materials and develop their unique creative voices.
Early Academics
Academic skills develop naturally through meaningful activities: counting eggs, measuring garden beds, reading stories, and journaling observations.
Social Skills
Through mixed-age interactions, collaborative work, and conflict resolution, children develop emotional intelligence and a strong sense of community.
