FRIDAY FARM SCHOOL

$35/Day | 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Our Friday Farm School is a Charlotte Mason-inspired program where children learn through meaningful experiences in nature. Set on our working hobby farm, each Friday follows a gentle rhythm of outdoor exploration, animal care, gardening, storytelling, creativity, and seasonal discovery. Rather than rushing from activity to activity, children are encouraged to slow down, ask questions, observe the natural world, and build lasting connections with the land and its animals.

​

A Typical Friday

10:00–10:15 AM | Welcome Circle
We begin our morning with songs, introductions, nature observations, and an introduction to our seasonal theme.
 

10:15–10:45 AM | Garden Time
Children help harvest vegetables, collect seeds, water plants, observe insects, and discover how the garden changes throughout the seasons.
 

10:45–11:15 AM | Goat Care
Feed, brush, and interact with our friendly Nigerian Dwarf goats while learning responsible animal stewardship.
 

11:15–11:45 AM | Chicken Chores
Collect eggs, refill feeders and waterers, observe chicken behaviour, and discover more about feathers, nests, and life cycles.
 

11:45 AM–12:15 PM | Picnic Lunch
We gather together to enjoy lunch outdoors whenever weather permits.
 

12:15–12:45 PM | Living Book & Nature Craft
Each week we share a carefully selected living book connected to our seasonal theme, followed by a hands-on nature-inspired craft.
 

12:45–1:00 PM | Nature Journals & Pick-Up
Each child receives a personal Barnyard Nature Journal to use throughout the season. Through sketches, labels, and simple written observations, children document what they discover each week, creating a treasured keepsake of their learning and the changing seasons on the farm.
