There’s a difference between saying “supplies are included” and preparing for a child as though their arrival truly matters. 🤍

This week, we’re getting everything ready for all our 2026-2027 students.

Here’s a little sneak peek of our three-day-a-week teen supplies at Flying Starlings Inc.®—and this is just a glimpse of what will be waiting for students.

Each student begins with a thoughtfully prepared collection including seven notebooks, pencils, index cards, Post-it notes, a cotton tote bag, cotton pencil case, vegan leather journal, and additional classroom materials they’ll use throughout their studies.

And yes—it is all included. Along with all the supplies for crafting, woodworking, culinary, academics, and everything else they’re learning here.

Materials are intentionally color-coded, giving students a bright, visually organized system for separating subjects, locating what they need, transitioning between classes, and gradually taking greater ownership of their schoolwork.

We want our students spending their energy on learning—not wondering whether they brought the right notebook or have what they need to participate.

And we want parents to feel something, too:

Your child has been thought about before they ever walk through the door.

Their materials have been chosen.
Their learning environment has been prepared.
Their place here has been anticipated.

Small groups. Thoughtful academics. Hands-on learning. Beautiful materials. Time outdoors. Creativity. Independence. Genuine relationships with teachers who know their students.

These seemingly little details are part of something much bigger: creating an educational environment where children can feel known, prepared, capable, and excited to come back.

You didn’t simply choose classes.
You chose a place that is preparing for your child. 🤍

We can’t wait to welcome them.

There is something beautiful about a child who knows they are seen.

Not just watched over.
Not simply taught.
But truly known.

A child who knows their ideas matter. Their questions are welcome. Their personality has a place. Their accomplishments are celebrated, and their difficult moments are met with patience and guidance.

That kind of belonging shows up in the smallest ways — in confidence, curiosity, laughter… and sometimes in a smile that says everything. 🤍

At Flying Starlings Inc.®, we believe children flourish when they are surrounded by adults who recognize the individual person in front of them.

Because childhood isn’t only preparation for who they will become.

Who they are right now is already worthy of being seen, respected, and valued.

And happy children learn beautifully. ✨

✨ Preparing for a Beautiful New School Year ✨

Behind the scenes at Flying Starlings Inc.™, little hands haven’t even arrived yet… but we’re already busy preparing for them. 🤍

Every shell, strand of fiber, tiny bead, piece of driftwood, sequin and sparkling detail is being gathered with intention for the year ahead.

Because here, a craft is rarely just a craft.

Our projects are thoughtfully designed to invite children to slow down, explore texture, strengthen fine-motor skills, work those little fingers, practice patience and concentration, and experience the wonderful satisfaction of creating something entirely their own.

And yes—we want them to be beautiful.

We spend an extraordinary amount of time dreaming up and preparing experiences that feel a little magical and uniquely Flying Starlings. We want a child to sit down at the table, see what has been prepared for them and know, in their own little way:

Someone thought I was worth making this special for.

That philosophy extends far beyond our art tables.

At Flying Starlings, we treasure the tiny humans entrusted to us. We want children to learn in an environment where they are seen, respected and honored as individuals—where their ideas matter, their creativity has room to wander, and learning feels safe enough for curiosity to flourish.

We believe one of the most meaningful ways to teach children to respect themselves and others is beautifully simple:

Give them respect first.

So while our classrooms are still quiet, we’re cutting, collecting, sorting, designing and preparing all the lovely little details for the children who will soon fill them. 🐚✨

We can’t wait to see what their little hands—and wonderfully individual minds—create this year.

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at Flying Starlings Inc.™ 🤍

Where childhood, creativity and learning are treated as something worth making beautiful.

🌿 Petals & Pastry Summer Camp | This Week at Flying Starlings Inc.® 🌿

There is something so beautiful about slowing down enough to notice the little things.

Tiny hands picking berries.
Fresh flowers becoming works of art.
Homemade pastries shared around the table.
Children cheering for one another.
Quiet moments beneath the summer sky.

This week reminded us that childhood doesn’t need constant entertainment—it simply needs beauty, wonder, meaningful work, and room to explore.

We baked together.
We tasted the sweetness of summer.
We created with flowers and nature.
We laughed, imagined, painted, beaded, discovered, and made memories that will last long after the season ends. And we still have tomorrow for more fun!

Watching children become confident, curious, and joyful is the greatest gift we could ask for.

Thank you to every family who entrusted us with your children this week. It is a privilege we never take for granted.

There is something truly special about arriving early each morning to prepare the space and farm before the children arrive.

The tables are set, the art supplies are waiting, the flowers are blooming, and every little detail is placed with the hope that it sparks wonder in a child. Then the gates open… and suddenly the farm is filled with laughter, muddy boots, curious questions, tiny hands creating beautiful things, and smiles that remind us exactly why we do this.

The whimsy. The magic. The joy.

Watching children learn, discover, imagine, and simply be children is one of life’s greatest gifts. Every giggle shared in the gardens, every proud smile after finishing a project, every new friendship formed—it fills our hearts in ways that are difficult to describe.

To all of our Flying Starlings families, thank you for trusting us with these precious moments. Your children bring so much light to this little farm.

On behalf of our entire team, thank you for allowing us to be part of their childhood. The joy they bring doesn’t just change their days—it changes ours too.

With gratitude,

Amanda Deane
Founder, Flying Starlings Inc.®

✨ Last night was pure magic. 🇺🇸

As the sun set over the farm, families gathered, children danced with American flags, friends shared a meal, and live music filled the evening. It was simple, wholesome, and exactly what community should feel like.

A heartfelt thank you to Rob Vercollone for organizing such an incredible night and to the wonderful musicians who shared their talents with us. The concert also supported Common Man for Ukraine, helping families in need. Please consider learning more or making a donation by visiting commonmanforukraine.org.

This special evening was free for all Flying Starlings members, along with their family and friends—just one of the many benefits of membership, along with free Messy Art Fridays, our free Teen Program, family events, and a wonderful homeschool community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so memorable. ❤️
