Kinderforest - Grades - Homeschool Hybrid
With respect for the unique time of growth and transformation of children—head, hearts and hands— the mission of Heartsong Living Arts is to provide a space of reverence and wonder where children may grow and thrive in relationship to each other, adults, the natural world and the greater community. Heartsong Living Arts offers Kinderforest (ages 3-6) , a Grades program and Homeschool Hybrid (1st - 8th grade). We engage the larger community by providing seasonal festivals, summer camp, drop-in school days, after-school care and monthly date nights. Heartsong is a Private Membership Association (PMA) comprised of students, alumni, and dedicated community members and works through the Community Supported Education (CSE) Model. Similar to a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), families at Heartsong PMA agree to mutually support the education of children. We are neither a child-care facility nor a school. We are a family centered membership association focused on educational programming for adults and children.
