Learning through play, exploration & observation:
Our curriculum is modeled with special attention to natural, daily and seasonal rhythms, child-led exploration and observation and inclusive community building. The heart and aim of our program is to provide a sensory rich environment where kids have more space to develop critical skills that can prepare them for focused learning. Outside in nature, a child can have more space; space to practice creative problem solving, build confidence and spatial awareness, learn to assess risk, and strengthen physical development.
Join our inclusive learning community:
​Our program runs during the school year. 
Program Start Date: September
Program End Date: June
