Each small class of students engages in cooperative, inquiry-based learning, guided by professionally trained educators.

Our programs take place outdoors; taking advantage of 400-acres of land and the many habitats at Hoover Forest Preserve has to offer throughout the seasons.

Children develop a strong sense of their place in the natural world, a love and respect for plants and animals, and a sense of belonging to both Hoover Forest Preserve and to their community.
