🌿 A Day in the Life of an MCFG Student 🌿
Every day at MCFG is a journey of discovery, balance, and joy.
🌞 Morning begins with our Montessori-based curriculum. Children learn in mixed-age groups, choosing hands-on work that excites their curiosity—math, language, art, or practical life. Each child moves at their own pace, guided by their interests and natural rhythm.
🌲 Afternoons belong to the forest. Students explore streams, climb trees, dig in the soil, and care for the homestead garden. They learn about plants, animals, and the interconnectedness of all living things.
✨ Throughout the day, children lead their learning. They take risks on purpose, discover their unique gifts, and practice mindfulness in nature’s classroom.
At MCFG, a child’s day is not just about academics—it’s about growing whole, resilient, and connected to the world around them.

🎨🌲 At MCFG, art and outdoor play are at the heart of early childhood education.
Through art, children express their inner world—shaping color, texture, and form into reflections of their imagination. It builds creativity, problem-solving skills, and confidence.
Through outdoor play, children connect with the living world—running, climbing, exploring, and discovering the rhythms of nature. It strengthens their bodies, nurtures resilience, and sparks curiosity that lasts a lifetime.
Together, art and outdoor play give children space to grow as whole beings—balanced in mind, body, and spirit. That’s why they are woven into everything we do at MCFG.
🌿 Here, the canvas is as wide as the forest.
🌟 And every child is already an artist of life.

At MCFG, our program is a unique blend of Montessori education, Forest School, and child-led learning.
🌱 Montessori principles provide the foundation—children explore materials, follow their curiosity, and build independence through hands-on discovery.
🌲 Forest experiences immerse them in nature—exploring streams, climbing trees, and learning resilience from the living world around them.
✨ Child-led learning ensures every voice matters. Children choose their paths, ask questions, and discover the joy of following their own curiosity.
Together, these three approaches create a learning environment that nurtures the whole child—mind, body, and spirit.

🌿 At MCFG, our garden is more than a learning space—it’s part of an active homestead nestled within acres of forest.
Here, children learn by doing. They plant trees that will grow with them, care for the garden that feeds our community, and explore the world of medicinal plants that have been used for generations. Every seed, every root, every harvest teaches responsibility, patience, and respect for the natural world.
This connection to land helps children see that food doesn’t just come from a store—it comes from soil, sunlight, water, and care. They discover that plants are not only nourishing but also healing. And most importantly, they learn that by tending the earth, they are tending their own future.
🌱 Hands in the dirt.
🌳 Roots in the forest.
✨ Growing knowledge that lasts a lifetime.

✨ A Day at MCFG ✨
At MCFG, every day is a balance of focused learning and joyful exploration.
Our mornings are spent in mixed-age groups, where children learn together and from one another. The curriculum time is guided but flexible, honoring each child’s pace and unique gifts. From math and language to hands-on projects, our mornings nurture curiosity and independence.
The afternoons are for Forest School. Children step outside to explore the woods, walk along the streams, and connect with the living world around them. They climb, dig, observe, and wonder—learning not just with their minds, but with their whole selves.
This rhythm of structured learning and outdoor discovery helps our children grow into confident, creative, and connected individuals.
🌿 Where the classroom meets the forest, magic happens. 🌿

🌿✨ Every Child is Unique ✨🌿
At MCFG, we recognize that every child is different—with their own strengths, interests, and ways of learning. Our program is designed to honor each child as an individual, creating space for their natural gifts to shine.
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we nurture curiosity, independence, and creativity, guiding children at their own pace.
By celebrating individuality, we empower children to grow into confident, compassionate learners—ready to bring their unique light into the world. 🌎💫

🌿✨ A Natural Approach to Learning ✨🌿
At MCFG, we don’t believe in forcing children to sit at desks, memorize facts, or take tests that strip the joy from learning. Instead, we embrace what we call a natural approach to learning—where children love what they do, because it’s meaningful.
Here, knowledge isn’t something to cram and forget—it’s something to understand, value, and use in real life. Our days are filled with time outdoors, connecting deeply with the natural world, and learning in a way that sparks curiosity and wonder.
Children work together in mixed-age groups, building cooperation, empathy, and community. They discover that learning isn’t about competition, but about growth, peace, and harmony.
We’re nurturing a love for learning that will stay with them for life—so as they grow, they can continue creating a better, more connected world. 🌎💫

🌿✨ Why We Added Forest School to Our Program ✨🌿
At MCFG, we believe children thrive when they are connected to nature. That’s why we included Forest School in our program —inspired by the Scandinavian approach to education, where the forest itself becomes the classroom.
Located on over 100 acres of magical forest, our children spend time exploring, discovering, and learning through hands-on experiences outdoors. Forest School nurtures curiosity, resilience, problem-solving, and deep respect for the natural world.
Here, the seasons guide our lessons, the trees hold our stories, and every trail walked strengthens both body and imagination. 🌲🍂
By weaving Montessori principles with Forest School, we are creating a learning environment that is both child-led and rooted in the wonder of nature.

Here, learning happens naturally—through joy, curiosity, and deep connection to the world around us. 🌳💦💚

🌿 Raising Children Connected to Nature 🌿

At Magnolia Children’s Forest Garden, we believe that a deep connection to nature is not a luxury — it’s a necessity for childhood.

In a world that’s moving faster and becoming more digital by the day, children need space to slow down, breathe, and belong to something real. That’s why our program allows children to spend up to 80% of their time outdoors — exploring forests, climbing trees, observing wildlife, and swimming in cool, clear creeks.

Here, nature isn’t just a backdrop — it’s the teacher, the playground, and the inspiration.

This kind of upbringing nurtures:
🌱 Confidence
🌿 Curiosity
🪵 Physical and emotional resilience
💫 A lasting sense of wonder and peace

We’re not just raising students — we’re growing grounded, joyful, connected human beings.

Let’s raise a generation that remembers where they come from: the earth beneath their feet and the sky above their heads.
