Vision Statement:
Running with the natural exuberant wonder
of a child towards nature,
we nurture imagination, inquisitiveness, confidence, creativity, and a connection to, gratitude for and understanding of
the world around them.
This will become a solid place
within each child
that they can continually return to
for growth, values, compassion, wisdom
and joy in their lives.
By fostering a love of nature,
practices of stewardship
and sustainable living
will eventually be driven by the children.
