“All good things are wild and free.”
- Henry David Thoreau
Child-Centered
We believe children are intelligent, capable, autonomous beings and believe in their ability to be the experts of their own learning journey.
Play-Based
We believe in a play-based, experiential approach to education that allows each child to unfold naturally, and promotes learning mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Nature-Focused
We believe that learning through the lens of nature is the best path toward establishing a foundation of lifelong learning and curiosity that will carry each child forward with resilience and wonder.
