Here's what parents say
"Our family has loved being a part of the backyard school! My five year old's creativity has blossomed and his resilience has increased in all aspects of life. When he comes home from an afternoon outside, he is always happier and more confident in undertaking new experiences and challenges. I can't wait to enroll my daughter next year!"

"We have absolutely loved being a part of the backyard play school! My child loves everything from the stories and songs, to playing games, collecting acorns, building snow forts, swinging in the hammocks, and going on nature walks. The backyard play school is a magical place where children learn to play and work together all while gaining the incredible benefits of time in the outdoors. This experience has been so enriching and I would recommend the play school to anyone who is looking for more nature time, free play, building of social skills, and bringing childhood back to our children!"
