The Cooperative Nature School at The Trustees Moose Hill Farm

"Our experience at the Nature school has been beyond amazing. My kids are not only learning all the basics to be ready for kindergarten (my older child started kindergarten this year and both were at the preschool last year) but they learn to love and appreciate nature. The beauty and tranquility of the land on their morning hike brings a peacefulness to their upbringing. The teachers are exceptional as role models. I've experienced 3 different preschools and there is no comparison. All schooling should be like this."

"We absolutely LOVE the Cooperative Nature School! It was an absolute joy to see our child grow and develop at the Nature School. The Nature School does so much more than foster a love of the outdoors - it promotes critical thinking skills and executive functioning through an emphasis on observation, exploration, and experimentation. I have never seen a staff of such highly-qualified and engaged early childhood educators. If you are looking for a pre-school program for your child you MUST consider the Cooperative Nature School. You will not regret it!"

"Our son went to the Moose Hill Nature School last year, and everything about it has been the best! The daily hikes with the children learning about nature "in person" have stimulated so much growth and excitement in him. We recommend this program to all parents who would like their child exposed to outside the classroom growing experiences they can only get while surrounded by the woods, animals, and of course bugs!"

"The Cooperative Nature School is a fantastic and unique outdoor-oriented preschool experience that fosters curiosity, an appreciation for nature and a great sense of community. My son came home from school every day eager to share what he had learned from his amazing educators. He has grown leaps and bounds both academically and socially, and entered Kindergarten well-prepared and eager to continue his academic journey."

"We love the Nature School in Sharon. Lot of studies show that children need to be outside 2-3 hours a day to reap many benefits the nature can offer, but in today's world it is very difficult. I am happy to know that while most preschool kids are sitting indoors, my child is outside at least 50% of the time rain or shine exploring the forest, playing outdoors, kicking soccer ball and learning so much about the nature. The teachers are very knowledgable, each bringing their expertise to the classroom. For example, our Naturalist brings in various insects and animals to learn about, the class has a pen-pal friendship with a family in Alaska and are following Iditarod, they plant plants or follow Monarch butterfly's lifecycle. We are also a great community, everyone is very friendly and families meet at various events together. I would highly recommend the Nature School to anyone."
