Young Pioneers Farm School: Spring Semester


  • Sand n' Straw Community Farm 629 Mar Vista Drive Vista United States (map)

At Young Pioneers children immerse in outdoor experiential learning on a six-acre family farm. As they explore ponds, gardens, and trails full of native and pollinator attracting flowers and food crops, they observe the cycles and interconnectedness of nature.

Our programs utilize Forest School, Waldorf, and STEAM principles. Using curriculum inspired by Rutabaga Education and the seasonal cycles of nature and the farm, experienced teachers develop our curriculum to ensure the learning needs of children in each age group are met in fun and engaging ways. Children play and learn at their level in small groups based on age.
