Mother Nature’s Child explores nature’s powerful role in children’s health and development through the experience of toddlers, children in middle childhood and adolescents. 

“In poetic words and images, and focused passion, ‘Mother Nature’s Child’ captures the essence of the challenge we face: the generational disconnect from the natural world and the great benefits that will come to our children, and ourselves, by giving the gift of nature.” — Richard Louv, author “Last Child in the Woods” and “The Nature Principle”

Our AMI trained teachers and carefully prepared classrooms provide the optimal environment to allow your child to maximize his or her potential. The school’s nature program, run by an experienced naturalist, follows the seasons and fully takes advantage of 2000 acres of surrounding habitats of meadow, vernal pool, ponds and forest.
