What: As some of our original Farm School Families are nearing aging out I wanted a program similar to Sprouts that would give us one more summer together. This program will also cater to kids slightly older who no longer need an afternoon nap. This is a parented program for children 4-6 years of age (pre-school to going into Grade 1). Participants will have the opportunity to explore fruits, vegetables, and flowers in our garden as well as meet our furry, fluffy, and feathered friends. All sessions will have a strong focus on developing parents' capacity to foster pre literacy, numeracy, fine and gross motor, and problem solving skills in their children in natural and authentic ways. Classes are structured to build community and parent's confidence. Families will have ample opportunity to explore the features in our outdoor classroom including our mud kitchen, water wall, and building centres.

Payment: Payment can be made by e-transfer to suzanne@gatheredandgrown.ca or Credit Card by request with a 3% service charge

Commonly Asked Questions

Are parents or siblings welcome?

This is a drop-off program, that means parents and siblings are not welcome to join us.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Farm School is an all weather program that runs rain or shine. We have options to move our classes into the greenhouse to provide shelter from poor weather. If the weather poses a risk (severe weather) the Farm School director will make a decision to cancel in the best interest of everyones safety. We do not offer credits or refunds for classes missed due to poor weather.

We aren't able to make all of the classes, can someone take our spot?

Unfortunately only our parented classes allow for someone to take you place. With un-parented programs (Blooms and Jr Farmers) you are not able to give your spot to someone else while you are away.
