Registration for the 26/27 school year begins March 1st! - send us an email to get added to our email list for notification.
Our 2026/2027 school year will run Tuesday, Sept 1st - Thursday May 27th and within those dates we follow La Grande School District for holidays and days off.
Our Sparrow session taught by Meghan Ballard will run 8:30-12:00pm Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and will be our more structured class for 4/5 year olds. Think longer circle times and more guided activities, still plenty of playtime too!
Our Toadstools session taught by Tatiana Derichsweiler will run 10:00am- 1:00pm Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and will be our more play-based class for 3/4 year olds. Think shorter circle times and some guided activities, lots of play!
Guided activities for both sessions will be process oriented, hands-on, and child/discovery driven. Both of these classes will follow Project Learning Tree and Growing Up Wild, Tend, Gather and Grow and Blossom and Root Curriculums with the flexibility to follow children's interests and adjust accordingly to follow emergent learning opportunities
Max for each class is 12 students and we will always have a 1:4 teacher to student ratio or less.
I'm also happy to meet with you to answer any questions and to give you a tour of our school space.
We also have a waitlist started for the 26/27, 27/28 and 28/29 school years.
Send us an email at [email protected] if you'd like us to add your child. Thank you!
