Programs
Little Seeds Toddlers
Ages 2-2.7yrs, children have the opportunity to explore the outdoors with short hikes and walks. They have first hand experiences with the natural world. We also read books and use natures elements for crafts. All our activities help children improve balance, coordination and agility. When playing outdoors, students inhale phytoncides which helps to build strong immune systems. Classes available on Tuesdays and Thursdays 8:30 - 12pm.

Mixed-Age & Kindergarten
Ages 2.8-6yrs, children experience self-directed unstructured play. The day includes hikes while observing natures elements to expand their ecological vocabulary and knowledge through emergent curriculum. Teacher lead activities follow natures seasons. Our program thrives to meet California's preschool and kindergarten standards and we add materials to further expand their learning. Available 5 days (Mon-Fri), 3 days (Mon, Wed, Fri) and 2 days (Tues, Thurs) 8:30am-1:30pm. After care stay until 3pm.​

Nature Immersion School Partnership
Ages 6-12 yrs, this program is a great opportunity for home schooling families who want to add ecological awareness to their child's curriculum. It aims to nourish their social, emotional development, leadership skills and conflict resolution. They will enjoy hiking, build eco-consciousness, create nature journals and enjoy free time. We have become a vendor with Blue Ridge Academy, Sun Coast Prep, and Sky Mountain. If you are with a different charter school feel free to reach out and we'd be happy to become a vendor with them as well.
