Summer 2026 · June 8 – July 16
Nature School
at HBS Farm
This is different than a traditional preschool. We are offering classes filled with adventure, creativity, curiosity, and hands-on learning — all outside. Our Preschool class is for ages 3–5.
Learning Outside Changes Everything
When children learn in nature, something magical happens. They slow down. They notice. They create. They connect.
Full Outdoor Learning
We're an outdoor school! We go in rain, sun, and even snow. Please dress appropriately for the weather conditions.
Hands-On Creativity
Art, crafts, and creative projects rooted in what's growing around us. Kids dig, build, paint, and explore using real materials from nature.
Small, Intimate Classes
Small class sizes mean every child gets personal attention and space to grow at their own pace. We celebrate what makes each child unique.
Teacher Leaders at Nature School
Our experienced educators bring decades of local teaching experience and a shared belief that nature provides the best classroom.
