Our school days are held in outdoor classrooms and locations across our 14-acre campus of wetlands, farm, and garden. Rain or shine, our students engage with our beautiful forest year-round.
As a Waldorf-inspired forest school, our educational philosophy engages the head, the heart, and the hands to provide a broad, balanced, and holistic education that nurtures the whole human being. Creativity and artistic expression are essential in a child's healthy growth and development, and are fully integrated into our curriculum.
We preserve the innocence and wonder of childhood through security and freedom; allowing children to move, explore, create, and play within a safe and predictable environment and rhythm. We practice and encourage peaceful parenting and wholesome living.
Joyful Beginnings is a nurturing half-day toddler program where children explore, move, and grow at their own pace. With outdoor time in our forest environment, weekly farm visits, and flexible 2-, 3-, or 5-day options, it’s a gentle first step into school life.
