We teach children music so they can become better learners! It happens within a nurturing environment- full of energy, imagination, music, dancing, and playful delight. Our curriculum is based on new and proven research in child development. Award-winning books, CDs, games, and instruments nurture skills in the whole child.

Citizen Naturalists is designed to get students outdoors, exploring the campus’ natural environment and observing the plant and animal species we discover. It is both educational and physical, and will expand students’ understanding of science, nature, and their personal place in the world. We will focus especially on the relationships between living species, how these living things impact their environment and our human relationship with it all. 

Students will join Rachel Woods, owner of Dragonfly Nature Programs LLC, to study the natural environment on campus. Most of our experiences will be outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold. Because nature directs our weekly focus, each class will vary while building on past experiences. Former program participants and new students are both welcome!
