kindergarten program

Our kindergarten education program offers your child a nature-immersion, child led education that includes all the important skills of reading, writing, math, arts, and language into the daily rhythm of the jungle. The curriculum is created with your child’s wellbeing and development in mind. We do not assign homework our projects outside of school.

The teacher-child ratios allow for one-on-one attention in an outdoor setting to encourage a love of nature and foster curiosity, self-reliance, teamwork, a passion for learning, risk taking and the most important critical thinking. The classes will maintain a 1 :7 teacher to child ratio. Classes will be modeled in a Waldorf style to allow children of varying ages to interact and learn together.

We look forward to partnering with you on your child’s educational journey.
