Outdoor Education at Unity Farm Sanctuary

We are thrilled to open a new preschool class at Unity Farm Sanctuary, a hidden gem in a bucolic woodland with a culture of kindness and connection.  Weโ€™ll spend our days exploring the forest, and incorporate learning experiences with the animals. 

Our experienced teachers spark curiosity and connection with nature while building friendships, community, and resilience that last a lifetime.
