We follow an earth schooling curriculum similar to that of Waldorf education, the learning process is essentially threefold, engaging head, heart, and hands-or thinking, feeling, and doing. We ask questions and treat each little like a child who knows the answers and wants to think for themselves, We explore learning through hands-on crafts designed to inspire the imagination, some ideas we can give you are watercolor paintings creating pics of what we see in nature while being guided by a story. Story time with puppets or with small wooden figurines on a nature table, stories that inspire kids to understand the seasons and the beauty of life. We move through the seasons with games, arts, and stories that promote cultural diversity by exploring different languages and cultural holidays. We explore mindfulness with yoga games and practice teaching kids how to listen to their hearts through games that inspire the understanding of using your intuition. We also love to inspire healthy eating habits and offer two healthy organic snacks a day, we learn table manners and work towards teaching kids to help clean up after themselves through song.
