About Us

It's about wild learning! Wether out on a hike, exploring in the backyard, growing an garden or tending to few flower pots, sitting by the lake or swinging on a swing, it's about staying curious and make discoveries together. As parents we embrace this wild child-led learning. We support early childhood development and elementary education. We follow along with what interests to our children, guide and encourage them.

About The Co-Op

We are a family of life-long learners who want to give our children opportunities to experience a wonderful childhood. We invite both traditional and homeschooling families to join us!

We believe that a mix of ages is an important aspect of sharing knowledge and life skills. As a parent-teacher member you decide what is best for your learner and we can learn together. Siblings of all ages are welcome. For 2025-2026 we are continuing our focus on early and elementary eduction for ages 0-8. Specifically, we're learing towards Froebel's Gifts, elements of Waldort education (watercolor, storytelling, handwork, seaonal cycles), Montessori concepts (independent project work), Charlotte Mason methodology (early literacy and living books) and Forest School philosophy (deep play and nature immersion). We're happy to collaborate and work with like-minded parents, caregiver, and community members who want see children thrive by providing learing opportunities in our local communities.

Enter Maple's world - Maple is my nickname, which is a long story of how that came to be, but little children can't always pronounce my given name, so like a wet leaf at the bottom of one's shoe, the nickname stuck and I love that. I like to think I'm a certified brilliant mom with a brain packed full of philosophy (that's my BA from UMass) and a management skills (an MS in Management for that too, but really, that's a life-long developed skill). Let's just say, Maple (that me!) is much more than your average smarty-pants, she's also a teacher (with a pedadogy certificate), an artist, and a nature-loving homeschooling supermom!Between da Vinci styled doodle sessions mandated by small children and Socratic seminars over homemade breakfast cereal, Maple's homebased preschool-turned-kindergarten is packed with a playful learning, sharing life skills knowledge, and making childhood truly magical. As a full-time mom to her lovely children, her heart is devoted to the smiles, giggles, doodles, and stargazing that fill her homme with joy and warmth. When she's not shaping young minds, you'll find her with a paintbrush or chasing butterflies in the great outdoors. Or trying to get streaks of glue off the floor, stepping on pointy objects, asking "Why is this here?" as the life's profound question and baking homemade bread.

Meet the ultimate combo dad, it’s Bill - a homeschooling hero, self-taught software engineer, and founder of a small business! Let's just say, when he isn't making our home networks amazing with his sublime cable management skills or planting new ideas in the field of artificial intelligence, he's either adventuring through strange new worlds in his favorite sci-fi audiobook or conquering virtual universes in dazzling video games. Count in his fondness for nature and building entire Lego galaxies, and voila! You have got a dad who not only cracks the code to complex programming but also the handbook to ultimate fun. This homeschooling maestro brings delight to learning.
