Learning in community
We create spaces where children feel they are part of a small and loving community, gain independence, and explore the world around them in ways that matter to them.
Each child is thoughtfully guided to grow skills based on both capacity and interest.
Mornings are spent playing games, exploring skills and interests, and experiencing nature. Afternoons provide a space for children to express themselves in meaningful ways with art and handwork. Our day ends with a gathering to share stories and gratitude for our day.

gardening, foraging, and harvesting
