We like to consider ourselves a school with heart. We love to connect with families with intention and authenticity. We encourage enrolled families to join our monthly potlucks (in spring, summer and fall), this is a wonderful time to foster connection over shared food and stories. Parents meet their child's best forest friends, see them climb their favorite trees, swap parenting techniques, and laugh over our latest parenting struggles and strengths.
We also send enrolled families a monthly newsletter full of connection to the season, parenting strategies, developmental maps, and updates about school. Here is an example of one to give you an idea.
