Free-range children taking guided risks
We accept some risk as a necessary part of the natural development of fully functional, healthy humans. Our kids get dirty. They get scraped knees. They navigate wobbly terrain. Our experienced Forest Guides are with them every step of the way, ensuring the environment is safe while still providing challenging play experiences.
Immersive Outdoor Learning
Our seedlings live and learn outdoors in all seasons. We plan to spend 75% of our time in the natural world – retreating to our Reggio-styled classroom for naps and inclement weather.
Varied terrain and opportunities for challenging, meaningful play
Our natural playground spans over an acre of space that has been designed to challenge the young mind and body. Our play features are constantly shifting to allow for a varied experience for our preschoolers.
Individualized child-led guidance
Each child has the individual attention they need to have their natural curiosities satiated, their questions answered, and their interests cultivated. Our curricular style, based on the Coyote’s Way, meets children where they are and seeks to cultivate their own unique interests.
