"Choosing The Earth School at Fauna Forest Farm has proven to be one of the best decisions my family has made.

It’s so exciting to see my child develop under the instructors’ unflagging support and patience, and to hear about the wondrous experiences he has every day at school. The first thing he says when he jumps out of bed every morning is “Do I get to go to outdoor school today?!” Earth School’s focus on connection and understanding have nurtured his social, physical, and intellectual growth in ways that I don’t think would be possible in a traditional preschool. He already knows more about nature than I do!

I have been so impressed by Fauna Forest Farm’s organization, clear communication, and genuine care & kindness for the families in their program. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found them."

"My son and I absolutely love the Earth School at Fauna Forest Farm! We feel so lucky to have a place where he can be free to experience life in nature. He is always so excited to go to the farm to learn more about the natural world, and he has built beautiful friendships along the way. He has learned all sorts of rustic skills; he especially loves shelter-building. And now, on our hikes, he is teaching me about the plants, animals, and fungi he has learned about. He sings the beautiful songs of the farm, he has grown more comfortable and confident through his experience, and he adores his teachers at the Earth School. I believe this experience has made a wonderful impact on my son, and I'm hoping that he will always find a home in nature now that he has discovered happiness there."

“My child has been attending The Earth School at Fauna Forest Farm for two years now. We love the community at this school! The teachers are excellent guides who connect the students to nature, teach them about the natural world around them like the birds, plants, seasons and so much more. They learn shelter building and how to build lasting friendships. It’s really such a special place and I’m so thankful that my kid gets to have this experience!”

“Our daughter has attended the girls camps and earth school for the past two years. She has tremendously enhanced her knowledge and connection with nature. As a young teen she values the great mentors and relationships she has developed at earth school. As parents we appreciate the opportunities she gets to assist younger students during Summer camps.

Our two sons have attended the past year and a half as well and they look forward to earth school day. The friendships they have developed and the bond they have with their teachers is very special. Earth school at Fauna Forest is a special place that aims to preserve our human connection with nature while keeping our children's childhood magical, they have been very successful at this. Visit them during their community events and experience it for yourself.”
