We welcome children ages 3–10! Our programs are thoughtfully divided: playful, sensory-based learning for ages 3–5 (through stations like Acorn Academy, Adventure, and The Nook), and more advanced, leadership-building experiences for ages 6–10 (including Science at The Leaf Lab, Kitchen, Garden, Music, Homestead, and Nature & Art).

Yes, we're a fully outdoor nature and farm school, operating rain or shine! We have covered areas for year-round comfort, so children stay protected and engaged no matter the weather. This builds resilience and a deep connection to nature.

Children are grouped by age (about 10 per group) with a dedicated Lead Teacher who stays with them all day. They rotate through multiple hands-on outdoor stations (e.g., gardening, cooking, science experiments, music, animal care), enjoy snack/meal and recess time, and blend play, exploration, and real-world learning for muddy hands and joyful hearts!

Through experiential activities on our working farm and garden, kids build emotional intelligence, resilience, creativity, collaboration, independence, stewardship, and gratitude. Younger ones focus on foundational skills like letters, numbers, and sensory play; older ones gain leadership, teamwork, practical homesteading, and advanced science/cooking.

Groups rotate daily through specialized stations led by expert Station Teachers, ensuring a varied week full of discovery. Activities include harvesting and cooking fresh meals, woodworking, wildlife observation, music composition, bug studies with microscopes, and more—all tied to nature, food cycles, and global traditions.

Yes—we use our own original Web of Life Curriculum, developed and refined right here on our regenerative farm through real experiences with over 400 children (not just theory!). This hands-on, nature-first curriculum follows the seasons, emphasizes the interconnectedness of life, and integrates science, math, language arts, social studies, gardening, cooking, homesteading, and outdoor exploration. It's experiential and child-led, bringing learning to life through soil, seeds, kitchen tools, and curiosity—no desks or devices needed!

Dress for outdoor adventure: closed-toe shoes, weather-appropriate layers, and clothes that can get dirty (muddy hands are a badge of honor here!). We recommend a change of clothes, water bottle, and sun protection.

We group children into age-based groups in increments of 10 (e.g., 3-4, 8-10.). This ensures that activities are tailored to their developmental stage and that socialization occurs with peers of a similar age

Tuition is based on how many days you choose and length of day.

The Fourth Hour is one of the most exciting and creative parts of our day! This dedicated hour rotates weekly and features a blend of structured activities and open-ended imaginative play in various areas.

• Younger children enjoy free play, arts and crafts, lunchtime, and socializing with friends.

• Older children participate in free play along with organized games—such as baseball, tag, obstacle races, and relays—in the Mulch and Treehouse areas.

The Treehouse inspires imaginative adventures, like pirate quests or team challenges. A nearby art station is always open for those who prefer quieter activities, such as crafting and drawing.

We love seeing participants build friendships, practice teamwork, and express creativity through joyful, natural play—exploring their interests and simply enjoying the experience!
