TESTIMONIALS .
“I cannot thank you enough for this beautiful educational and super fun experience. I love that [my child] came home filthy, tired and full of wonder for the natural world everyday. Every evening she regaled us with stories about the plants and animals that live in our parks and wanted to share what she had learned about taking care of them and our planet. I could not ask for a better summer experience!”
“Outstanding! I was impressed by the way you seemed to strike just the right balance between flexibility and adhering to a routine. I was impressed by all the ways you created ritual/routines around each day, including frequent use of song, and differentiation of each day’s theme by song. I was impressed by the inclusion of adults into very specific parts.”
“It was really touching as a parent, knowing the richness of their day… beautiful values nature lessons. Heartwarming actually- just knowing this was the content they were taking in :)”
“[My child] says to share that she learned that ‘everyone should be theirselves’.”
