Using a center-based, individual choice model and a thematic curriculum we support hands-on learning, exploration and the natural curiosity of preschoolers. Our program focuses on the social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth of children while helping to help build positive character traits and strong interpersonal communication skills among our students. Through teaching empathy and encouraging kindness we celebrate differences and form a caring community of compassionate young learners. As a school led by our membership, we strive to foster a loving environment that embraces each individual student and all of our participating families.

This review is for the preschool. If you are expecting an outdoor / nature school it is not nature…read more- centered under age 5. They include some things like a barn tour, and they ride a pony at the end of the year for the 4 year old class, but they aren't outside playing or incorporating outside learning. They are largely inside with ditto sheets, and doing typical preschool curriculum (ABCs, 123s), circle time, coloring on a coloring sheet, music, art and PE. That was a little disappointing and maybe I should have done more research on it. There also aren't stations in the class. They get moved to various locations like the music room, PE, library and that was not a fit for my kid. She was afraid of having to leave the classroom as a child getting used to going to school for the first time. The farm felt big for her They are also not very supportive if you have a child who regresses with the potty. They need to be 100% potty trained and must stay home if they have 2 accidents in a week. If you need an accommodation, like using a different potty in the building, that's not accommodated. Their stance on child psychology and education principles are largely old - school and not at all geared towards the child. It's more one size fits all. There is also limited time to volunteer in the class if you want, or even interact with the teachers. You drop off at the door, pick up later, and need to call the front office to schedule anything further. You don't get many updates on your child, just a "they did good or they had a hard day " if your child is out sick or for another issue, they do not check in after an extended period of time. I found that to be strange. Communication lacks as there is no email or way to communicate with parents outside a red folder with some assignments and a calendar. There is an app they use for (I think weather alerts?) but they never once updated it with any information. If you have a concern you have to call the office. They could benefit from an upgrade into the year 2024 on how to communicate with parents and use technology. For a parent with a 3 year old or 4 trying school for the first time, I can imagine communication feels very important to feel your kid is ok. I'm writing this as neutral as possible for parents to make up their own mind on if this could be a fit for their child. A huge positive is the option for half day Kindergarten when that time comes. The class sizes are also fairly small.

I contacted three stables in the area and all but Hazelwild gave me the runaround; requesting call backs and emails only to be told in the end that they were available for the service I was requesting.

However the Hazelwild staff were responsive and let me know the first time what they offered and that they were unavailable for me. I can't say how much I appreciated that.

They have several sports available for students here that include soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball as well as cheer-leading for girls. Lots of youth activities through the church that they invite the students who are not members at the church there to attend. Uniforms are required and some of their rules are on the strict side, but its not a bad thing. They like modesty and that is great I think! The tuition here isn't the cheapest you'll find nor the highest, but fair for everything they offer. This school IS accredited which is very important. They have a great band program. They offer an academic diploma as well. I have seen my children flourish here over the past year. Lots of caring teachers and staff.

You definitely feel like everyone employed here actually cares about the children and this is not just a job to them. Which I think says a lot about this particular location.
