“Nourishing bright spirits, nurturing tender hearts, and cultivating kind, confident and capable earth-connected children”

We offer play-based, nature guided, age-appropriate learning. Our curriculum includes nature-based art, earth skills, lunar-cycle gardening, seed saving, herbal medicine making, cooking, nature trekking, movement, singing, games and more. We incorporate Waldorf-based philosophy and songs in our daily routine, as well as learning ABC’s and numbers in creative and playful age-appropriate ways. We spend much of our time learning social skills in a loving, supportive environment where the little ones explore and learn about their feelings, other’s feelings, and how to communicate and get along with one another.  We are strong supporters of the re-villaging movement, and so far, have been successfully creating a multi-age classroom where youth volunteers, ranging in age from 8-12, have come to be support, fun and inspiration for the little ones.

We are now enrolling for our Spring Session starting March 2024!
