Our Vision
Discover
The world is full of learning opportunities! Getting our hands dirty in the garden teaches us to be patient and connect to nature. Caring for our animals teaches us kindness and responsibility. Science experiments teach us to be curious and ask questions. We believe children thrive when they are given the freedom to explore the world around them.
Explore
We steer away from the traditional teaching methods and instead use a play-based curriculum. We create games and activities that encourage children's natural curiosity while incorporating important life skills. We believe that when we allow children to be active participants in their own education that we will foster a deep love for learning and a sense of independence
Grow
We provide a healthy and seasonal PNW inspired menu. Our kiddos are involved from greenhouse seedlings all the way to their own plates. We feel that exposing children to a variety of different food at an early age helps establish a positive relationship with food and builds healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.
