Looking to build our village!

We're in the process of creating a forest school space for our 3-year-old twins & others to join! 

I’d love for us all to build a warm, supportive, nature-oriented community.

Looking for like-minded families who are interested in: 

🌿Outdoor learning 

🌿 Risky play 

🌿Play-based, child-led activities

🌿Days of natural rhythm - an ebb & flow of free play & learning

🌿Intentional environments

🌿Cooperative play, socialization, mindfulness, sensory play

🌿Embracing nature, dirt, and all kinds of weather

🌿Learning about animals & plants

🌿Song, dance, puppets, crafts, and more!

We’re setting up mud kitchens, sandboxes, swings, hammocks, climbing stations, a circle time space, a fire pit, storytime areas, a library loan outdoor box, an outdoor classroom with a roof and clear rain/wind tarps (to bring some shelter when needed!), herb and vegetable gardens, sensory play areas, and more. We have fields and forest and we’re a short walk to the creek and lake. I’m very excited about this project!

🐍🦇🦅We’re very interested in learning about snakes, bats, and birds at the moment. If you want to come to us and teach us, we’d love to learn! Or we can come to you. If you’re knowledgable about another animal, we’d also love to learn! 

💪🪚Labor help, carpentry, and gardening help would be greatly appreciated. We would treat you as a part of our community and could plan lunch around the firepit (we provide organic, healthy food!) or a fun hike to the lake and picnic together. 

🤝I’d love to barter, if there’s something you need!
