All seasons offer scheduling flexibility that honors what works best for your family through our mixed-age preschool programs for 3-6 year olds and Elementary School Travel Learning Pod for 5-10 year olds AN INDEPENDENT LAB SCHOOL FOCUSING ON RETURNING LEARNING TO THE COMMUNITY. We also partner with schools to facilitate Forest School sessions for grades 1-8, extending regenerative learning across age groups.

 

Seasons of Regenerative Learning

Each season invites unique growth, awareness, and cultivation practices as we nurture the seeds of ecological citizenship. Weekly classes focus on different Regenerative Ecology Skills and Awareness, responding dynamically to weather changes, plant cycles, and animal behavior while honoring the interconnected web of life.

 

Fall: Honorable Harvest & Life Cycles - We cultivate depth and joy through cycles of growth and rest, practicing cooperative play, community building, and honorable harvest traditions that connect us to the land's abundance.

 

Winter: Shelter, Reflection & Resilience - Through shelter building, bushcraft, and contemplative games, we honor reflection, rest, and the resilience that emerges from slowing down with natural rhythms.

 

Spring: Growth, Awareness & Cultivation - We practice growth mindset, awareness skills, and cultivation practices that sow seeds of ecological citizenship and regenerative relationship with the more-than-human world.

 

Summer: Adaptation, Care & Reciprocity - We develop capacity for change, deepen our ability to care for ourselves and others, and explore ways to give back, cultivating gratitude for perceptual reciprocity and interspecies communication.

 

Both/And Approach to Learning

Our guides offer friendly care and individual attention while building collective confidence and connection. Children move their bodies, wander and explore, take on meaningful responsibilities, practice fine motor skills, engage in hands-on projects, tell their own stories, create songs, and play to their heart's content.

​

This represents our both/and philosophy: honoring both individual authentic development AND collective skill-building, both structured learning opportunities AND emergent play, both academic readiness AND joyful discovery.

 

Holistic Reconnection

All programs provide positive pathways for children and adults to reconnect with nature and their relationship to the living world. Recognizing that children spend significant time indoors, on screens, or focused on isolated academic skills, we offer holistic learning that engages whole selves—body, mind, heart, and spirit.

Through collaborative daily design, children develop vital relational and problem-solving skills, gain positive mental health strategies and mindfulness techniques, and discover purpose and community connection right in their own bioregion.

 

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.

 

Pay What You Can: Solidarity Economics in Practice

Tuition is billed monthly on the last Friday for the following month. As part of our commitment to educational justice, we operate on a Pay What You Can model—we don't want financial barriers to be the deciding factor for transformative education access.

 

We honor the unfair history of our economic system and work toward solidarity economics that support both family accessibility and educator sustainability. Contact us for conversation about what works for your family and how we can collaborate to make regenerative education available to all.

 

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 for thriving in an interconnected world.
