Philosophy

Uninterrupted play is the true work of the child! They develop creative thinking, problem solving, build cooperation and skills in conflict resolution. Play provides needed opportunities to work through their emotional lives without judgment or pressure.

A typical day

An extended winter keeps us on our toes! We are sliding across our icy farm, going on troll hunts, listening for returning birds, climbing trees, perfecting our fire skills, building forts and preparing for Lady Spring.
