1st-2nd Grade
Our preschool program offers an enriching experience entirely outdoors, designed specifically for young learners ages 3–4. Blending a nurturing, play-based approach with a thoughtfully designed early childhood curriculum, we support the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and academically.

Learning Spaces
Our covered, partially enclosed learning spaces create room for gathering, making, observing, and learning together throughout the seasons. These areas provide structure without separating children from the sights, sounds, and rhythms of the outdoors.
Nature playgrounds and mud kitchens encourage imaginative play, problem-solving, sensory exploration, and collaboration. These spaces are intentionally simple, open-ended, and inviting, allowing children to interact with materials and one another in ways that build creativity and independence.
Farm and Trail Spaces
Walking trails invite children to explore at a slower pace, notice seasonal change, and build a relationship with the land over time. These pathways create daily opportunities for movement, discovery, and reflection.
Our animal spaces introduce children to horses, chickens, goats, rabbits, and pigs, offering meaningful moments of care, observation, and connection. Through these experiences, children begin to understand responsibility, gentleness, and the interdependence of living things.
