Ages 5–8 *age 5 by Sept 1st ’26
Our Earth Group offers children an intentional introduction to building confidence, independence, and meaningful relationships & skills through experiences with nature, guided by caring, experienced educators.
Designed specifically for ages 5–8, this program nurtures confidence, curiosity, emotional well-being, communication skills, and practical life skills through hands-on projects, storytelling, mindfulness practices, outdoor exploration, creative play, and thoughtful mentorship. Children are given the time, guidance, and support to ask questions, solve problems, build meaningful friendships, and develop a lasting connection with nature and their community. Seeing themselves as a part of nature, rather than than something separate we visit.
Our Earth group is designed for children who are curious and thrive in a relationship-centered learning environment where they are known, supported, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.
