Our Pre-Nursery program is designed specifically for children ages 2–3, and gently supports curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. Children practice playing in a group setting, sharing, taking turns, and following a predictable daily schedule, helping them feel safe and secure as they build independence and trust while attending school away from family.
Entering each day with a walk through the apple orchard, children step into a magical, nature-rich setting designed to nurture the whole child. Surrounded by fresh air, animals and open green spaces, students learn through meaningful, hands-on experiences that integrate science and offer an introduction to academics, and they enjoy daily activities such as gardening, art and caring for our farm animals.
Our program embraces play-based learning, recognizing play as the foundation of cognitive growth, creativity and problem-solving. With a teacher and assistant teachers supporting small classes, we are able to offer individualized attention, honor diverse learning styles, and encourage curiosity, independence and joyful engagement.
Social–emotional development is woven into every part of the day. Through animal care, cooperative projects, outdoor exploration, and our creative art studio, children learn empathy, responsibility, self-regulation, independence and confidence. Art becomes a way to express feelings, explore ideas, and build a strong sense of identity and community. Students naturally develop key life skills that include kindness to our planet and all living things. Our gentle separation program sets up a level of comfort to allow students to confidently separate from caregivers.
Grounded in sustainability and environmental stewardship, our green curriculum teaches children how to recycle, compost, conserve energy, and understand where food comes from. They plant and harvest vegetables, explore different habitats, and develop healthy relationships with nature. Our eco-friendly barn, powered by solar panels, models real-world sustainability in action. Nothing goes to waste on the farm, and each item is incorporated into a project or a learning opportunity.
As a farm-based school, we believe deeply in connecting children to land, animals, and seasonal rhythms. Children explore early academic concepts such as ABC recognition, shapes, colors, and 1-2-3 counting through hands-on activities, songs, stories and movement. Scientific thinking naturally occurs as they feed animals, pick apples, observe weather patterns and participate in the life of our gardens. Our ‘outdoor classroom’ proves to be a key element in The Green School’s philosophy of learning through discovery.
A vital part of our philosophy is “paying it forward.” For each student enrolled, we sponsor another child’s education in Thailand through our charity organization, Mari’s Children, fostering global awareness, kindness and gratitude
