Our Core Program runs Monday through Thursday and is designed for children ages 5–8. Blending strong academics with nature-based, play-rich learning, this program offers a well-rounded education in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Families can choose the days that work best for their schedule—whether part-time or full-time—and tuition is based on a $60/day rate. Small class sizes and mixed-age groupings allow each child to be seen, supported, and challenged at their own pace.

Children in our Core Program enjoy engaging academics, creative expression, and daily outdoor adventures that foster curiosity, resilience, and joy.
