From our Parent & Child Classes to our multi-age Preschool and Kindergarten classes, nature held wonders for all.
Parent & Child Classes
The parents and children of our Star Garden class enjoyed the last fall days. They filled their baskets with treasures from nature and collected apples from the tree.
Back in the Parent & Child classroom, the children help with chores. They enjoy taking part in the meaningful work of the day and roll up their sleeves to wash dishes from a shared snack.
We have just opened registration for our winter Parent & Child classes with 10-class sessions beginning the week of December 2. Register here to join us and stay connected to our community of parents during our long Vermont winter!
Preschool & Kindergarten
Children collect pinecones, leaves, and acorns.
The Apple Blossom class has been thoroughly enjoying playing outside in the changing season; especially with our new mud kitchen.
Our smaller play yard has been transformed with the help of EC parent Tara Gravelin. Tara has been creating and installing mud kitchens for local establishments and we are so excited she is bringing her gifts here. The children come out to the play yard each day with delight as new things seem to arrive in the night! We have new tools, buckets, pans, measuring cups, and funnels. We have a new table, shelves and pulley system as well as all the loose parts we could want to use with our new space. It truly is such a wonderful new space!

The Caterpillar Garden class took their rest in Mother Earth’s lap. We ate our lunch at sugaring camp and then rested beside the children’s garden on one warm autumn day.
