A nature school? This sounds wonderful. Mind sharing about that?

It’s an outside school! He goes to school on a farm, they have about 230 acres. Some of it is for growing crops, some of it is forests for hiking. Most of their learning takes place outdoors through question based learning. He will have to switch to public school next year because they don’t have an option for older kids. But it’s been a great experience! Check out the book “barefoot and balanced”

I am not a parent yet but I absolutely will! I don’t think (at all) this is about barefoot shoes but FWIW I wear those lol. And it made me thinking of that. I think kids’ education must have been worlds better in the past. Classroom learning is sad, especially these days. It’s a nightmare in public schools.

The book is written by an occupational therapist and she explains why play time and movement are so important for learning.

Those are some true quality “buy it for life” things! You can’t get back the early years. So enjoying them in nature is so important to our family
