Special features: Little Gnome Nursery sits upon an organic farmstead nestled on 6 acres of woods and gardens. Children naturally help with the daily joy of collecting chicken and duck eggs, gardening, exploring nature on the woodland trails and shallow creek bed. Weekly activities include: watercolor painting, bread baking, music, preparing wholesome organic snacks, clay/beeswax modeling, storytelling, puppetry and seasonal arts and crafts. Essentially, we are a playbased and naturebased program that is Waldorf inspired. Teacher is bilingual and shares German songs and games.
