At Merrohawke, we are dedicated to fostering a deep connection between children, nature, and community. Inspired by the principles and practices of Waldorf education, our programs emphasize hands-on, experiential learning that integrates nature-based practices, creativity, and holistic child development
Together our teaching teams create time and space for youth to grow strong by nature in a way that honors their age and developmental stage. We do so in all weather, in all habitats, in all seasons. We are outdoors in rain, snow, sun, fog, winter, summer, fall, and spring as we explore rivers, oceans, salt marsh, sandy beaches, mudflats, coastal ocean waters, forests, vernal pools, broad green lawns, and meadows. We care deeply about protecting the sacred childhood years, and in this way, guide experiential learning in nature that inspires empathy, resilience, grit, and a deep connection to nature.
We always welcome interest, as our needs vary by season.
