A NEST IN NATURE
Wonder . . Curiosity . . Exploration . . Discovery . . Time . . Joy. . Freedom

the essence of childhood . . . learning naturally


Real, natural learning is in the living.
It's in the observing, the questioning,
the examining, the pondering, the analyzing, the watching, the reading,
the DO-ing, the living, the breathing,
the loving, the joy. It's in the JOY.

Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, water bugs, tadpoles, frogs, mud turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb, brooks to wade, water lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pine-cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets; and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of education.

   -Luther Burbank
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. ~Albert Einstein

A NEST IN NATURE . . .
              a gathering of Parent AND Child all the year round.

Come join in the gatherings at the NEST where you and your child will have free choice to:

~ walk and PLAY in nature (woodlands, pond, meadow, ridge)
~ play inside with assorted materials and toys (rice box,dress up,legos,etc)
~ and outside ..mud pie kitchen, sand area, Stone fort, garden, etc
~ create art with assorted materials."process is more important than product"
~ feed and interact with animals ( horses, hens, ducks, rabbit, cats, dog)
~ make friends with others
~ and enjoy conversation with other parents and their children.

It is my hope to create a haven for mindful parents and their children to:
~ connect with their creativity,
~ connect with the natural world around them,
~ increase their awareness of, and encourage natural learning,
~ foster friendships with other parents and their children.

  It is our gift to humanity to allow children to PLAY. Through the creativity of their imaginations,
free-thinkers will be born.
