Let’s Grow Outside NH

07/09/2026

T’was the day before preschool(s) and we are ready to play, at three little places, the outdoor way.
The summer was filled with orders galore, and that new red schoolhouse now has its own Mount Flushmore 🚻!

The usual stock of tools and playdough, paper and paint are all ready to go. The blocks and loose parts are stacked on the shelves, organized last week by the best teacher elves.

We have a whole hand of new staff we welcomed with cheer. Now all 15 of us are ready for the year.

A new outdoor school was built up by scratch and we can’t wait to watch all the magic they hatch!

All three schools are special in their own way, from animals, to trails to zip lining all day.

Tomorrow we start another magical year of friendship, new memories and lots of new gear. We will post some of the magic so you can follow along to see and hear a new verse of our song.

Thank you for sticking by as we grew so tall! Wishing all of you the best new school year of all!

This is magic, beginning to end. I love getting to watch kids from our upstairs window and be a fly on the wall! 50 degrees and raining and this child just wants to walk up the hill with a bike wheel and roll it down, over and over again. This is what we mean when we say we are giving children the privilege of time!

From chaos to color-coded! Our shed got a complete overhaul this April vacation. It is the beating heart of now 3 schools and so important for teachers in preparing their environments. Now we can actually see what we have and easily swap out materials for new invitations! Organization of our dreams 😍
