Our forest school enrichment program accepts families with children ages 3-7 who are independent and toilet-trained. 

 

Children spend their days exploring the woods, splashing in the creek, playing at the giant bespoke mud kitchen, gardening, foraging, tending to chickens and bunnies, baking and cooking at the bonfire pit. 

​

Our emergent curriculum follows the natural flow of the seasons, connecting children to earth in a way not possible in traditional schools.  We follow the Waldorf-Steiner philosophy, which is child-led and play-based, and allows our leaders to act as facilitators rather than teachers. 

​

Our co-op is hosted at the idyllic Applejack Acres, our own private four acre property, complete with woodlands, grassy knolls, gardens, hen houses and a babbling brook. ​
