³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ

A weekly drop off program that seeks to develop the innate bond between children and the natural world by providing a landscape to play, explore, and use all of our senses. Our teachers act as role models and guides: they share in the children’s curiosity, ask questions, inspire with stories, and embody empathy towards all living things.   

Our full-day, school-aged program meets every Monday. This program is designed to provide students with supplemental outdoor learning to their homeschool or in-classroom education. We have the flexibility to work in age-appropriate small groups or come together as one class. This program will follow the model of our Forest Playschool, where children are given the opportunity to lead their days with inquiry and are supported by our Teacher-Naturalists with seasonal topics and nature mentoring. No two days look the same, but themes of cooperation, curiosity, and phenology will prevail throughout our sessions.   

We integrate the outdoor classroom with rigorous academic concepts, conservation-based themes, and connection with nature. ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Vermont's series of monthly outdoor nature-based programs focus on key science concepts. Each program is designed to give you a platform from which to build units/lessons in your homeschooling or to supplement your child's classroom learning at school. Each season —fall, winter, and spring— offers hands-on learning opportunities families love. We build on learning each month to create a three-month series that is in tune with nature's calendar. 

Afterschool programs are a great way to discover the outdoors, with less structure than traditional guided experiences. We are excited for the opportunity to work with Mr. G’s After School Adventure Program and the whole MMUU School District starting for the 2025-26 school year.
