“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, nurturing the whole child through imagination, movement, and meaningful connection. We follow the flow of the natural year and also honor the quiet magic of the night sky through our original moon cycle curriculum, helping children feel grounded in time and inspired by wonder. Here, they grow not only in knowledge, but in confidence, calm, curiosity, and a deep reverence for the world around them. This is more than just outdoor play—it’s a return to something essential.
