Located on 2 acres in central Simi Valley, the "farm" offers a nature-based learning experience for children who learn more effectively outside the classroom or as an outdoor supplement to their academic journey.
​
We offer a loose daily structure that includes animal care, play, foraging, gardening, crafts, history, social studies, bushcraft, journaling, cooking, arts, play, messy art, science, building / engineering, archery, free play, and so much more!
We prioritize respect for the land and all living things, the value of teamwork, and tactile learning.
We identify and support each child's unique strengths, interests and personalities, for an exceptional experience.
