Description

Come join us for a day at NVF to see if it's a good fit for your child! Please limit one trial day per child. This coupon is unredeemable on Drop-in days.

We are a fully outdoor program. In order for your child to thrive in this environment, they will need farm and weather appropriate clothing and gear! Please check the weather before sending your child to the Farm.

Farm Checklist (early Fall):

  • Hearty lunch and snack

  • Weather-proof plastic storage bin for gear

  • Two filled water bottles!

  • Sun hat

  • Sunscreen and bug spray

  • Gardening gloves

  • Change of clothes 

  • Rain pants and rain jacket

  • Boots for chores; they can be swapped for lighter shoes later in the day

  • Extra socks

  • Muddy/wet clothes bag, a plastic bag works well for this

  • Please leave all knives, tools, and electronics at home. (If your child has a cell phone or a smart watch, we require them to keep it in their bin).

  • We'll send out an updated packing list as the seasons change!


Drop off is between 8:30 am and 9:00 am. Pick up is at 4:00 pm.


Scheduling:

  • We follow the CVSD calendar, so if CVSD schools are out, so is FS!

  • FS will not run on November 25th and 26th.

  • Our last day of Spring FS is December 10th.


Other Logistics:

  • If your child carries an Epipen, please send us an email, so we can make a plan together.
  • IEP: If your child has an IEP, please send us an email with a summary of how we can best support your child.
  • Photo Release If you do not want pictures of your child to be taken and posted on social media, please send us an email.
  • We always recommend a tick check after farm time.


Parent/Caregiver Resources: You can check out our Philosophy Page. We do things differently than other education centers, and it’s worth understanding why we do what we do.


We look forward to providing outdoor learning experiences that build confidence, skills, and resilience. 


Please send us an email if you have any questions! Thank you for supporting us in this work. See you soon.
