Early Childhood Program

We are thrilled to introduce our new and unique program “Honey Bees”, thoughtfully designed for the curious and imaginative minds of children ages 2.5 to 4. This special program embraces the natural wonder and joy of early childhood, offering a gentle rhythm to each day that nurtures both heart and mind of our youngest friends.

Daily Rhythm & Activities
Each day begins with children gathering in a warm, welcoming circle to share in songs, stories, and the joy of being with friends. From there, they will engage in a variety of enriching projects such as bread making, crafting, and fiber arts. These hands-on activities are not only fun but also foster creativity, fine motor skills, and a love for making things by hand.

Farm & Nature Exploration
Our program is set in the serene surroundings of Stony Hollow Farm, where the children will have daily, interactive experiences with our friendly farm animals. Whether feeding, petting, or simply observing, these moments help to build empathy and a connection to the natural world.

The adventure continues as we explore the magical forest and garden. In the garden, the children will care for the vegetables, herbs, and flowers, experiencing the joy of harvesting and tasting the bounty they help nurture. The nearby woods and creek offer endless opportunities for exploration and discovery, as the children immerse themselves in the vibrant life of these natural spaces.

This program is designed to captivate and delight our youngest friends, creating a strong foundation for their first learning experiences. We are excited to be part of their journey here at the homestead and look forward to the many memories we will create together.

The days are always full and fun, and as always we make sure the days flow naturally with the rhythm of the children!

Acceptance criteria: Your little ones need to be ready to join us on the farm. By readiness, we mean that they are toilet independent, willing to come and stay without parents and nap is optional. We offer quiet/rest time.
