Rain at Wildsong? Not a problem! We gear up and go out anyway.

We're thankful to have a number of pavilions and sheltered areas at The Res, where we can be outside while keeping water sensitive materials dry. This also allows children a choice between wet and dry environments during our free play work time.

We believe that with good gear there's no such thing as bad weather, but as thunderstorms are hazardous, we will seek shelter indoors during a thunderstorm event.

What happens when you provide young children with open ended materials and an invitation to create their own model insects? You get an adorable model insect gallery!

Wildsong children have been noticing and finding so many insects recently, so we're following that interest through books, art, imaginative play, real insect observation, and a writing opportunity for our older class. We're also layering in early math skills and information about life cycles. A child-centered approach to education creates engaged and curious learners!

Wildsong is back in session! We had a wonderful week welcoming over 30 children to our nature-based classes at Mishawaka Res. With a mix of returning and new children our classes were filled with outdoor exploration, budding new friendships, songs, books, art, large-body play, and quiet moments of observation. It's so good to be back!

While classes have already started we still do have some open seats and will continue to admit children on a rolling basis this fall. Reach out if you'd like to learn more!

We're so excited for Wildsong classes to start next week. We still have available seats and it's not too late for your family to join our growing community!

Wildsong offers drop-off morning classes for children ages 3-6 (one or two day options from Monday-Thursday) and grades 1st-3rd (one day option on Thursdays). All classes take place at The Mishawaka Res from 8:30 am-11:45 pm.

Our small mixed-aged classrooms focus on outdoor, child-centered, nature-based learning and play! Our younger class is primarily focused on free play but also reviews basic early literacy and math skills, while our older children cover literacy and science topics.

Our classes learn through and with the seasons, stomping in the creek in late summer, raking leaves and harvesting pumpkins in the fall, building snowmen in the meadow in the winter, and playing in the rain while watching plants grow in the spring. We read books, do art, sing, play games, share stories, and laugh together.

We've observed that many of our children benefit from the soft skills modeled and practiced within a caring group, such a conflict resolution, problem solving, responsibility for taking care of their own things, emotional regulation, and how to make and keep friends.

We also have seasonal family gatherings and volunteer days to further connect our families together.

Wildsong is more than a class, we're building a community. Visit wildsongelc.com to learn more. A list of up to date seat openings is available on the first page of the enrollment application. Apply today and join us for an incredible year of learning and play outside!

Wildsong's FREE community wide nature play day is this Wednesday, June 10th from 10 am until 12 pm at the Mishawaka Res!

It's gonna be a warm one this week...perfect weather for putting your feet in a cool and shady creek! We'll also have additional water play activities, shady locations, and an air conditioned indoor space with additional nature play activities. There is a small chance of showers, but since we're a nature school we'll proceed rain or shine. Come out and play!
