We were founded by a collective of mothers and professionals with a mission to nurture the whole child and cultivate a community that respects and cares for one another and nature. Families who enroll in our school are encouraged to share their talents and contribute throughout the year through volunteering for community events and work parties that give back to the environment through our community garden and forest protection and restoration efforts.
