Activities

From planting flowers to painting sessions, we try to incorporate as many activities into the day as we can. Creating a space where children can explore their creativity is one of our main goals.

Community Outings

Due to our remote and secluded location in nature, we do not take any community outings. However we love inviting the outside would in with visitors like the Zoo lab, fire trucks and more! Our children have great fun when we get visitors and love learning about new things. With so much land to ourselves, there is little need to venture outside.
