PROGRAM FULL FOR THE FALL
Oaks and Acorns Program is designed for children ages 18 months to 5 years old that are accompanied by a parent or caregiver. Circle time, movement, nature-based AgVentures, and animal care will inspire our group play and morning tasks. Surrounded by the beauty of farm, forest and fields, we will follow the rhythm of the seasons and encourage exploration through the freedom of imaginative play. Younger and older siblings are welcome to participate, but activities are geared toward toddler through preschool aged children. Please inquire about space for older siblings.
Miss Krysten has over 20 years of experience in Early Childhood Education. She is the director at Under the Willow School where she has also been a Kindergarten Assistant Teacher since 2019. She has two wonderful children, loves being outside and is currently working toward a Master's Degree in Non-Fiction Creative Writing. Krysten is excited to return to HCFC. She was the Little Seeds Lead Teacher in 2019 and is a close friend of the farm!

This farm camp is filling up quickly!
In addition to farm and nature based activities, unstructured activities are an important part of our Farm Camp day. Unstructured, free play is so often undervalued in our current culture. Studies and direct experience tell us that imaginative capacities and empathic intelligence are best developed during self directed play. Our daily rhythm includes ample, unstructured time for free play, and our farm facility provides the environment for imaginative outdoor adventures.
Our farm facility has woods, stream, meadows and fields. During free play the imagination is given the freedom to explore and experience. Unstructured outdoor play provides the gift of creating inner peace.
