Immersing Children and Learning in Nature We believe that a progressive education engages the natural curiosity of students in child-centered and experiential learning environments. The promise of “Nature as Teacher” at Orchard extends the walls of our classrooms and supports our Early Childhood curriculum across all areas of child development. Stronger, Smarter, Happier Children Our MultiAge program offers regular opportunities for children to connect with nature and their local environments. Combining a child-centered curriculum with a focus on the natural world results in hands-on opportunities that help build stronger, smarter and happier children. By supporting a love and understanding of nature, we believe that as children learn to care for themselves and others, they also learn to care for the world around them.
