Who We Are

Our Mission

Caring for the next generation of children who are naturally courageous, creative, and compassionate is at the center of everything we do. It is up to the adults in a child’s life to set them up for success and ensure they have the proper tools to become children who can and will change the world.

We strive to fill your watering can with the tools you need to feel supported so that you can water the wildflowers around you.

“Nature based education is incorporating a connection with the natural world in order to support student growth that is developmentally appropriate for every individual.”
