We currently run the following low cost or free programs in Southern Vermont:
-State Licensed Childcare for Infants and Toddlers ages 0-2 years: Located at the Old School Enrichment Center in our state licensed classrooms. We provide regular recurring care and education to local children 0-2 years Monday through Friday.
-Prekindergarten for 3 through 5 year old children: Located at the Old School Enrichment Center in our state licensed classroom. We are a preapproved program through Vermont's Act 166 Universal Prekindergarten and employ licensed teachers to oversee our free preschool and prekindergarten classes.
-Nature Exploration Summer Camp for ages 4-8 years: Launched in 2022, and run in 2023 and 2024! Camp is typically 9-10 weeks in length. The program is a fully outdoor nature immersion experience and is held outside in our beautiful learning space adjacent to the Beaver Brook. Out-of-state and non-local families welcome.
-Homeschool Learning Collective for school age children: *NEW* cohort with group sessions available for the 2024-2025 school year. Weekly sessions will be held at the Pool Nature Center (new home of the Southern VT Natural History Museum) and are fully outdoors. See "Learning Collective" tab for more info.
