Voices of the Wild (Spanish Dual-Language)
Step into a fully immersive Spanish-language environment inspired by the natural beauty of our outdoor classrooms. Through hands-on exploration, games, songs, and storytelling, children will build foundational Spanish vocabulary connected to nature and outdoor discovery. Students will learn directly from native speakers as they observe local wildlife, identify plants, and engage in rich, meaningful conversations outside. This session is designed to support authentic language acquisition while fostering curiosity, confidence, and connection to the land.
Families may also choose to extend the experience with an additional six-week Spanish dual-language session, or one-week thematic specialty classes, offering even more time for language development, connection, and deep summer learning.
Please Note:
We are always open to adding more sessions. Even if the class is full please add yourself to the waitlist as we may add more classes to the session depending on interest!
Wildling Classes are for students ages 5-7.

Students arrive and transition into the day through unhurried routines, greeting peers and educators and engaging in light exploratory play as the group gathers.
Students engage in thoughtfully prepared learning invitations that support creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. Experiences may include construction, art and dramatic play, early literacy exploration, nature-based projects, and primitive or survival-inspired skills. Educators observe, scaffold, and extend learning based on student interests.
We gather as a learning community for a snack, shared reading and/or shared writing, daily news, and collaborative discussion. Whole-group exploration may include math, science, local history, or other interdisciplinary topics. A bathroom break supports independence and self-care.
Students participate in walk-abouts to nearby locations, engaging in inquiry-based exploration, observation, and hands-on learning. These experiences strengthen connection to place and extend classroom learning into the natural world.
Students share a brief lunch followed by reflective conversation, journaling or drawing, shared reading or writing, and a second bathroom break.
The day concludes with a calm closing circle and reunification with caregivers.
