We are located in the heart of agriculture on the border of Somis and Moorpark, California. Following methodology pioneered by Reggio Emilia, we see the outdoors not only as a classroom but as a teacher as well. We offer classes in the following areas:

​

Gardening and Regenerative Agriculture                                                Fridays               12:00 - 1:00

"What can a children's garden bloom into? What can it become when science, observation, wonder, and thoughtfulness are practiced? It will be an ecosystem, a science lab, and a place of discovery." In this course we use our community garden to develop our students' foundational understanding of permaculture and the ideas of "Care for Self, Care for Others, and Care for the Land."
