The Third Teacher
Our play yard is a place where hands press into cool earth, feet trace the roughness of wooden beams, and eyes follow the gentle sway of leaves in the breeze. The indoor space will embrace the outdoors as an essential part of learning. We’re creating a space that nurtures children's growth and deepens their sense of belonging, ensuring that every child feels welcomed, seen, and inspired.
Our Forever Home
We have been dreaming of a space that will be our forever home. Looking high and low. All we truly had to do was look where our heart is . . . Flower Avenue. We are home.
Mud Kitchen Recipes
I was good and stuck on the kale idea. Obviously.
“No. I think it’s called arugula? Yes, that’s it. Arugula,” the mud kitchen in the teepee was again open for business, “We have arugula now!”
Sense of Place
The "Blue House at the Edge of the Forest" site was not selected because it featured opportunities for nature study. It held no plans for literacy, math, or science activities. It was not a classroom moved outside into the forest and yet it is very much in line with what we do every day at our school. The school is designed around destinations and the forest site was chosen because it offered multiple zones for play, because play is what we are after!
