A Multi-Cultural Journey through a Farm Based Curriculum!
Children connect with the environment and learn the importance of sustainability while participating in our composting and recycling program. Each day they feed left overs to our chickens while eggs are brought back to our kitchen. In the kitchen we use math and fine motor skills while baking a healthy, organic treat. In the spring, compost goes into our garden, seeds are planted, we tend and nurture then look forward to harvest time. A multi-cultural curriculum allows for discovery and exploration. By learning from different cultures, students develop their individual and global awareness and build essential lifelong tolerance and acceptance skills. |
"Today, I will be kind to the earth. I will eat healthier foods for my body and I will encourage others to make better choices for the environment "
Ready for Pre-K?
We empower children's independence through their daily interaction with our farm animals.
We develop organic, cumulative and age-appropriate lesson plans that grow with the classes' interests and abilities. We encourage children's ownership of the program and maintain an emotionally and physically nurturing environment, which enables freedom for children to explore and a foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
Developing or maintaining connections with their friends, teachers, and all their animal friends on the farm will provide much needed comfort for continued growth. Developmentally, Pre-Kindergarteners' social and emotional proficiency serves as a foundation for all learning. With developed relationships with their teachers and friends, the learning can take place with this essential socialization groundwork. Building on skills obtained, while developing new ones, this program will continue to nurture children’s innate curiosity and eagerness to learn.
