We have been at this school for 3 years. My children are thriving. They are learning life skills and more importantly, social skills. This school is powerful. My child is learning compassion for others and kindness. She can name all her vegetables . The teacher turnover is non existent. This tells me the teachers love it here and that carries over to the kids. Teachers are great role models for teaching emotions.
They eat different foods than what you’re serving at home. The children really take pride in the veggies they eat because they grew it in their garden.
I love that they can be outside almost all day. Kids just getting to be kids. There is plenty of time to be in a regular classroom.
I love this School so much. If i could give it a dozen 5 star reviews i would. I cant believe how lucky i am to find the perfect school so close to my house and more affordable than all of the other schools i looked at.
Its been near a year since we started and im so glad we found this place. I love that every day the kids of all ages take care of different animals (the goats are my favorite!) and get to play outside in a beautiful yard with toys and entertainment from nature. I feel satisfied when my son comes home he's had a full, active and engaged day. He loves his teachers Ms Noah and Ms Niki so much. They were so perfect with him when he first started and would cry so hard when i would leave him. Kind and nurturing. Gently but firmly teaching him to play with the other kids. Now he's eager to go to school every day.
Every school day they learn great lessons, sing songs, dance around, interact with nature.
Love that i dont have to bring anything but a water bottle every day! They have healthy food they serve to the kids (included in the price of tuition, love that!!) So i dont have to worry about a thing when i drop him off.
They work with local charities to keep the kids and parents engaged in the community - a great lifeline during covid to take the mind off ourselves and our home for a bit to think about providing something to others.
The director somehow knows every enrolled kid, every unenrolled sibling and every parent by name which i think is amazing.
Covid stuff:
I started my eldest kid in the Treehouse program during the midst of covid and felt pretty anxious about it at first. But for being a "farm school" the facility is remarkably clean, the teachers and staff were so strict with covid protocols, and it was so precious seeing the little kids line up in military fashion to wash their hands several times a day. They had to shut down i think only once because someone from the school tested positive but i loved how proactive and communicative they were during the whole crazy year. We got a few colds along the way but never got covid.
100/10 would recommend to anyone in the area. Cant wait to put my next kid in this school when the next school year rolls around!
This is the most wonderful daycare/preschool I’ve ever encountered, including the ones I used to work at. My daughter loves going to school. She looks forward to it, and even asks to go on her days off. When I come pick her up, she is happy and full of energy from playing outside and being in nature. The school is on the most beautiful grounds, with big shade trees and several farm animals. The children play outside most of the day instead of being cooped up inside like most daycares. My husband and I feel very blessed to have found such a wonderful place for our daughter to attend.
Excellent school!
My three boys have attended (2yr - 5yr)
They come home fulfilled and at peace everyday!
After having all three of them attend, I can attest that Good Earth Farm School holds up to their mission statement.
I would even argue they’re the only school in TX that provides a home-feel and natural outdoor experience for little ones. Not to mention their food ingredients and culture are second to none.
We are very greatful of them!
"Kate Smith", we don't have record of you as a client.
We do proudly fulfill our mission statement, that being:
The mission of The Good Earth Day School is to provide a high-quality, nature-based education to children in the first phase of childhood (18 months to 7 years) in a home-like setting. Activities now absent from most urban children’s lives will be a key part of the curriculum, including: cooking, gardening, outdoor exploration, sewing, woodworking, caring for animals, and housekeeping. Woven into these experiences will be lessons that will well-prepare children to enter public or private school, or homeschooling arrangements. The Good Earth Day School attempts to educate the whole child, touching the child’s heart and will besides his/her intellect.
Thanks!
