Why We’re Different
Our Blissful 5-Acre Organic Farm Setting
There is a noticeable difference in the children who attend BeeLoved Farm. That difference is often palpable to their parents shortly after enrollment. These children quickly become softer, more gentle, hardier, more self-sufficient, learn incredible social skills, are helpful, engage during circle-time, are captivated and live-into the stories and puppet plays, are incredibly creative, possess vast imaginations, have a bolstered emotional sturdiness, and have learned the social art of play, both independently and cooperatively. As “advanced” in life-skills as these children are, they still retain a sense of wonder and childhood innocence, as all the activities here on the farm are meant to nurture and preserve childhood.

We feel truly blessed and honored to have been part of BeeLoved Farm. The school has enhanced and grown our son into the amazing person he is today.

However, your love, generosity, and insight will stay with us forever. Our whole family has been touched by you. Thank you so much; you allow children to blossom!

Thank you so much for making our daughter’s first school experience such a great one! She always speaks so happily about her teachers and her friends and the fun she has there at the Farm. We’ll miss you so much! Thank you to all the teachers as well as all of the helpers, you’ve been incredible.
(Computer Programmer and Accountant from Mid-Town Sacramento)
We had such a lovely visit the other day and can’t wait until the boys officially turn two! What is necessary for us to hold our spots? I appreciate your time and effort.P.S. I am currently reading “Simplicity Parenting” and LOVE IT thank you so much for the suggestion.
Thank you,
Parent of Twin Boys
First I just want to say thank you for all your help, insight, and tips for helping us with this issue. I am so happy to have such wonderful partners (you and your teachers) as you work with us so we can all support our son, both at school and at home. I appreciate the time and investment that you give to our boy and our family. I’d love to talk with you more regarding the information you have provided so I can properly understand it and put it into action. Yes, your suggestion for a home visit might be a great time to discuss all of this further. Let me know what days and times work best for you. Thank you.

Key Points To Choose
BeeLoved Farm
Because children’s experience of nature remains a vital and an irreplaceable source of healthy development, nothing less than the future of our species is at stake in maintaining and restoring this relationship. The crisis of deeply diminished connections between children and the biological basis of our humanity is too great for us to remain passive. The scale and scope of the problem calls for bold steps and a deeper understanding of what is at stake.

PlaySchool~ 3 & Younger 4-Year-Old Children
Our PlaySchool (preschool) Program for 3 & 4 year old children can best be described as “developmentally appropriate and idyllic environment for the very young child based upon the philosophy behind Waldorf education”. The PlaySchool program builds strong foundational senses (touch, balance, movement and a sense of well-being) in the physical body. PlaySchool also emphasizes the child’s natural curiosity in the world and the exploration of it. Given appropriate freedom, the child builds self-confidence, self-respect, a deep care for the plants in nature and learns how to care for the animals. It is important that children of this age observe […]
