RANGERS PROGRAM RUNS BY SEMESTER FOR CONTINUITY, ROUTINE & STRONG FRIENDSHIP BUILDING.

WE ENGAGE & LEARN THROUGH MOVEMENT & WHOLISTIC HANDS-ON LEARNING.  

THIS AGE WANTS TO BE CHALLENGED AND WE WORK WITH THIS DEEP NEED TO LEARN & GROW. WE LEARN GENTLY, & POSITIVELY. WE WORK WITH POSITIVE SELF TALK, AS WELL AS ENCOURAGING OTHERS AND BUILDING ONE ANOTHER UP.

 

WE LEARN RHYTHMICALLY WITH THE SEASONS, AND STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT. WE FOUNDATIONALLY LEARN – HOW TO LOVE TO LEARN  IN A COMFORTABLE & ENGAGING ENVIRONMENT. OUR SPACES INCLUDE GARDENS, PLACES TO BUILD FORTS IN OUR LITTLE WOODS & FARMYARD, A SEASONAL STREAM AND POND. WE LEARN ASIDE AT TIMES A LAMB GRAZING, INQUISITIVE MINIATURE GOAT, AND OTHER FARM ANIMALS THAT WE CAN OBSERVE AND PET. ANIMALS BRING A CALM TO MANY CHILDREN & EXPAND THEIR EXPERIENCES AND EXPOSURES. SOMETIMES THEY BECOME THE LESSON.

WE LEARN CONCEPTS LIKE ENGINEERING, TEAMWORK & A SENSE OF SPATIAL AWARENESS WITH FORT BUILDING. WE BALANCE & DEVELOP OUR VESTIBULAR SENSES HELPING CONCENTRATION & LEARNING. WE ALSO LEARN WITH GAMES, MOVEMENT  TO LEARN WITH THE  WHOLE CHILD, WE CHALLENGE OURSELVES & WORK TOGETHER WITH GROUP PROJECTS.

 

OUR PROGRAM INCLUDES UNITS OF NATURAL SCIENCE, LITERATURE, NATURAL JOURNALING, ART,  WE ALSO INCLUDE SEASONAL  FIRE BUILDING, WHITTLING, NATURE ART, COOKING AND EDIBLE SCHOOLYARD EDUCATION (COOKING AND EATING FROM THE GARDEN).

​

WE ENJOY SPECIAL DAYS TOO, LIKE BIRTHDAYS & HOLIDAYS TO ADD A SPECIAL & EXCITING ELEMENT FOR DEEPING IMPORTANT EVENTS  & MEMORIES. 

 

RANGERS IS DESIGNED FOR FORWARD LEARNING, CREATING FRIENDSHIPS, FEELING COMFORTABLE IN OUR NATURAL SPACES & WITH THEMSELVES. WE TREAT OTHERS WITH KINDNESS & EMPHASIZE EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING ONE ANOTHER. WE WORK TOGETHER WITH POSITIVE CONFLICT RESOLUTION & UNDERSTANDING OURSELVES & OTHERS.
