What families are saying…

  • "I love that my son gets to experience learning in nature with other children while being guided by adults who know the value in the work they’re doing...I always look forward to finding out what he’s found, what’s he’s learned, and who he’s played with. "

  • “I’ve also enjoyed the sense of community amongst the teachers and the families, there’s just something about it that’s so affirming. We’ve all chosen our own path but this is one place where all the roads come together."

  • "My six-year-old daughter started attending Nature School in the Winter session. Even with the colder weather, she loved being outside with her teachers and the other children. She enjoys the outside activities, especially playing in the creek, and the ever-important free play. Now that the Spring session has started and the weather is warming up, she is really cultivating a love for nature. Before starting Nature School, she was hesitant to go on hikes. Now her love for the outdoors has grown immensely, and she is excited to go on hikes and camping with the family."
