Creating a brighter future

With a blended curriculum, rooted in Reggio Emilia and Charlotte Mason philosophies, we honor each child’s unique curiosity and creativity. Days flow gently with stories under the trees, songs and poems in circle time, and hands-on exploration of the land. Children paint with earth’s colors, build with branches, and discover the wonder in even the smallest details of nature. Through these rhythms, they gain not only early literacy and numeracy but also independence, imagination, and joy. Each moment outdoors nurtures reverence for life and a deep sense of belonging. 

Our Sprouts begin to step into a new rhythm where academics are gently woven into the magic of outdoor learning. Reading, writing, and math emerge naturally through stories, journaling and hands-on exploration. This is also the age where we begin to introduce real life skills—gardening, cooking, crafting with natural materials—so children see learning as purposeful and connected to daily life. Days flow with hikes, group projects, and quiet sit spots that balance lively energy with moments of stillness. Every lesson grows from curiosity, guided by the land and the children’s own questions. Here, students build not just knowledge, but resilience, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Our Saplings deepen their learning with a balance of academics, real life skills, and meaningful connection to the land. At this stage, we emphasize practical life skills such as woodworking, outdoor cooking, financial literacy, and community stewardship, helping children see themselves as capable contributors. Children are encouraged to think critically, solve problems creatively, and share their voices with confidence. In this way, academics and life skills blend seamlessly with the wonder of the forest. Here, students grow into resilient, compassionate, and empowered learners who feel at home in both nature and themselves.
