A WISH TO LEARN
“Children and families who spend time in nature are healthier and happier, and the children perform better in school.”
Our philosophy, of course, but also endorsed by child psychologists worldwide.
Natural environments are tied to higher activity levels, stronger self-esteem, and increased creativity. Children who spend time in nature boost their ability to follow instructions, work in a cooperative manner, and problem-solve at a higher level.
Splashing in puddles, searching for bugs and flowers, running and playing in the field, these activities build stewardship, instill a sense of place, and encourage curiosity.
Or, as a famous educator once said, “The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.”
By sending your children to Sequoia’s Treehouse, you are giving your child permission to learn at their own pace, learn in their own way, and discover a love of learning along the way.
