Question 1

Where are the classes

Accepted Answer

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.(https://www.grasslandgardenschool.org/grasslandgardenschoolseasons)  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.
