Vision

We envision our nature-based educational programs will nourish children's minds, bodies, and souls and deepen their connection to the world.

Goals

1. 1.We are currently opening a new child care center in partnership with Tracy Aviary's Nature Center at Pia Okwai. By August 2026, our goal is to open two classes (a full day & AM half-day option) for up to 40 families. We plan to serve four and five year olds. We'll provide year around care starting on August 31, 2026 until May 28, 2027. We then plan to offer 10 weeks of summer camps.
2. 2.A main tenet of our mission is to make nature-based learning accessible to all children. We currently offer scholarships to families who struggle to afford high quality childcare. We would like to increase the amount of scholarships we award each year from $36,000 to $48,000. Part of this goal is also to continue to work on an investment plan, by June 2026 for the sustainability of our endowment.
