Hearty Homestead

We run 2 half day programs from 8-12pm and 1-5pm.

From digging in the garden to yoga in the rain your children will thrive with the opportunity to move freely around our huge backyard lot and neighboring parks.

The "Playground": Our backyard is about acre of land for exploring! There are climbing structures, balance beams, slides, sandboxes, water tables, and an art area.

The Carport: 250 sq. ft. serving as a gathering spot for outdoor activities, riding tricycles, daily meals and snacks and a covered extension to our classroom.

The Classroom: Our converted garage is the perfect space to host indoor activities! When the weather is less than ideal or cooperative we will have the room complete with puzzles, books, blocks, stuffed animals, a kitchen set, and many more. The children will have plenty of free play here. This area is also where all of your children's items for the day will be stored(i.e. rain jackets, water bottles, spare clothes)

The Garden: In several areas of the yard there are raised garden beds, collectively over 200 sq. ft. Gardening is huge at Hearty Homestead! Many of our days will be garden focused. We will learn what plants thrive best in the PNW, plant seeds year round, harvest and cultivate our produce!

The Animals: Where do we start?! In my eyes no home is complete without a furry companion. Here at the homestead we have 2 dogs: Mac the Border Collie and Maya the Golden Retriever. They will be inside the majority of the day, however there will be some interaction between them and the preschoolers. In addition, there are 4 cats, 4 ducks, 17 chickens, and a rabbit. Since we live in an urban area you may catch some other wildlife as well!

We are a Certified Wildlife Habitat committed to the protection, restoration, transformation and conservation across the Nation. That being said, some activities your child may engage in are feeding, watering, petting, and attending to the animals.
