Learn more ↓A Gentle But Structured Start
Little Explorers is our preschool class for children ages 3 to 5 who are ready for a structured learning environment with a warm, play-based approach. We begin in the classroom with circle time and table activities, then move outside for part of the morning so children can move, explore, and practice what they are learning.
- Early reading and writing readiness through hands-on activities and play
- Number sense and early math concepts through movement and simple activities
- Following directions and being part of a group with confidence
- Science, nature, and art through sensory-rich, hands-on projects
- Outdoor exploration each day including nature play and occasional supervised animal visits
We welcome neurodiverse learners and children of all abilities. Our goal is to create a supportive, respectful space where every child can thrive.
Academic Skills, Confidence, and Independence
Pathfinders is a small-group homeschool enrichment program for children ages 5 to 7. It balances structured lessons at tables with movement, projects, and daily time outside so children stay engaged and active while still making clear academic progress.
- Reading, writing, and early composition through guided daily practice
- Math skills through hands-on problem solving and real-world application
- Science and social studies through projects, themes, and outdoor study
- Confidence, independence, and personal responsibility
- Outdoor nature study and farm work with clear boundaries and direct supervision
Pathfinders is designed to complement homeschool families as a structured enrichment day, not to replace what you are doing at home. We partner with parents to support whatever learning path your family has chosen.
A Club-Style Enrichment Program for Older Students
Trailblazers is a specialty class program for older elementary homeschool students. Instead of a weekly recurring class, we offer limited-run sessions and pop-up clubs throughout the year.
It is a supervised social enrichment club where students can explore interests, build skills, and enjoy meaningful connection with peers in a structured environment. Sessions may be led by specialty instructors and guest teachers.
- Robotics and technology challenges
- Science labs and hands-on experiments
- Bug club and nature science
- Chess and strategy games
- Art intensives and creative projects
- Building challenges and engineering
- Survival skills and land navigation
- Farm skills and animal care
New Trailblazers sessions will be posted here and shared on our social media as they become available. If you want to be notified when a new session opens, reach out through our contact page and we will add you to the list.
Not Sure Which Program Is the Right Fit?
A tour is the best way to get a feel for the space, the animals, and how we run our day. We love having families visit before enrolling and are happy to walk through any questions you have.
