A Day at the Farm

Weather permitting, students take trips to Montessori Acres on a monthly basis. The animals are well socialized and are a part of the hands-on learning experience. Enrolled students in Pre-K, Kindergarten, and Elementary are able to participate in the educational outings.

Students groom, feed, exercise, and learn about the daily needs of the animals. A typical day may include preparing the food for the horses, collecting eggs from the chicken coop, brushing the mini horses, visiting the golden pheasants, walking the donkeys, and learning about the inner workings of the farm.

Montessori Acres provides a space for students to be actively involved in a farmstead. As our students learn and play, their experiential learning allows them to advocate for animals, appreciate farm to table methods, and protect their natural world.

Every child’s learning journey begins with curiosity. A tour of our campus farm will show how exploration come alive each day. Start your child’s story with us — schedule your visit today.

The animals love to be admired and cared for by all the students of Montessori Academy. They are very well socialized and are a part of the hands-on learning experience.

Knowledge is best given where there is eagerness to learn, so this is the period when the seed of all things can be sown, the child’s mind being like a fertile field, ready to receive what will germinate into a culture.

What parents say about us
  • Our family has received incredible value from MAV. We’ve been with the school for 7 years and are amazed at how much our children have learned and grown under MAV’s care. The teachers and staff all care about the kids in a way that isn’t institutional. I highly recommend MAV for those looking to let their children safely explore life.

  • Our family loves MAV! We enrolled our child for his first full school year and the experience has been amazing. He loved his teacher and made many friends in his class. He has also improved on his Montessori skills and independence. All of the staff are friendly and very communicative with the students and parents. We definitely recommend MAV to our friends and family!
