“To raise a nature-bonded child is to raise a rebel, a dreamer, an innovator… someone who will walk their own verdant, winding path.” – Nicolette Sowder.
At Little House Farm Nature School, children step away from screens and schedules and into the gentle rhythms of the earth. Once a week, they gather on our homestead to explore the wonders of nature through each season. Our approach is rooted in Waldorf philosophy and supports the whole child through imagination, movement, and meaningful connection. We also weave in gentle somatic practices—like breath and sensory awareness, grounding exercises, and gratitude practices—helping children develop a lifelong sense of calm, presence, and inner knowing. With our original moon cycle curriculum guiding us through the lunar year, children grow in confidence, curiosity, and a deep reverence for the world around and within them. This is more than just outdoor play! It is a return to something essential.
