IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Working on Tsėhéstáno (Cheyenne) and Hinono'eino (Arapaho) territory, we're committed to creating learning communities that give back more than they take while preparing children and families for thriving in an interconnected world.

We offer year round classes for all ages in SW Aurora and SE Denver within the Cherry Creek Watershed (SEE MAP BELOW). For all Summer Fall Winter and Spring Camps and Classes our single skill is Regenerative Ecology and our seasonal classes move and migrate as all animals do depending on the season, day and current conditions.

Each class and operation area are chosen in collaboration with families and local parks and recreation or open space agencies to assure regenerative (giving back more than we take) stewardship of the land.

This is a map of some of the places that we operate in: Cook Park, Wabash Trailhead, Bible Park, Hentzel Park, Expo Park, Jewell Wetlands Park, Highlands Hollows Park, Great Plains Park, Plains Conservation Center, and Mission Viejo Park. Contact us for details specific to each season.

If you are interested in full time school year (2, 3 & 5 Days a week) - learn more and sign up on our seasonal programs page. Enrollment for full school-year programs will be open Janurary-April of the previous year for pre-enrollment family meetings.

Full Time School Year classes will rotate seasonally with thematic topics between locations based on land use and regenerative stewardship. We will coordinate drop off and pick up seasonally in collaboration with land agencies and families. Locations will change (potentially daily) but will always be within an area suitable for family commuting logistics.

Regulatory Compliance & Seasonal Curriculum

Our preschool programs operate in full compliance with Colorado state law (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 26.5-5-304) and CDEC's legal exemptions. Programs for kindergarten and older also meet all Colorado State Law requirements.

​

Our curriculum focuses on specific weekly skills within monthly themes that follow seasonal rhythms and earth cycles. Seasonal offerings build upon one another, allowing our learning community to grow and strengthen like mycelial networks—supporting both individual development and collective resilience.

All-Outdoors, All-Weather Learning

This outdoor program follows natural, relaxed daily rhythms that include activities for quieting the mind and accessing inner knowing. Children spend time in mixed-age community and smaller age-appropriate groups, honoring both collective belonging and individual developmental needs.

Participants need weather-appropriate clothing (full rain gear for wet days, sun protection for hot days, water-safe shoes, etc.). Bring lunch, snack, and water bottle in a day pack. Our gear library supports families who need equipment access.
