CENTENNIAL FIELDS PARK & RAIN GARDEN
Centennial Fields, adjacent to Meadowbrook Farm, is an award-winning park, sitting majestically in the shadow of Mount Si, across the street from the Three Forks Off-leash Dog Park. Your children will have real Elk and bugle calls to witness before their eyes and ears. The Rain Garden is a whole eco system just waiting to be explored and learned about. There are bunnies, squirrels, raccoons and Garter snakes, plenty of slugs, bugs, spiderwebs and earthworms for our zoology, botany and ecology exploration lessons. The trees are climbable and raise self esteem with every storybook read and lunch eaten up inside a beautiful, mossy tree. There's spectacular views and so much space to run freely in this fully fenced, safe and friendly park. This park and the forest will ensure a gleefully muddy childhood for your child's happiness.

The Farm on Maui Island
Organic Farm Partner
Located on the northeast side of upcountry Maui Island, our Maui Campus features spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, with nature hikes, farm animals and real lessons in organic faming! At our Maui Campus, the majestic landscape is an additional teacher – presenting ample opportunities to learn math, science and art concepts through the natural world.
In our awe-filled outdoor classroom, your young explorer will play with symbols, letters and ideas. They will play in a language rich environment with written words for the names of the trees, plants and creatures that make the forest home. And to explore the world of science, and test the possibilities of the natural world, your child will plan their own experiments and share what they have learned with classmates through daily plan – do – review sessions.
Music and sounds are incorporated through ukulele play and songs, listening to nature and the call of the abundant creatures great and small during our adventures.
