What to Expect:
Earth School Instructors Kennedy Hunt and Rachel Barrick are offering weekly meaningful childcare for your family on most Friday nights throughout June and July from 4:30 pm - 8:30 pm!
Children will get the opportunity to connect with other children over a meal, try new fruits and vegetables, partake in a group activity, and engage in wind-down techniques before settling in for a movie. Activities will vary by week, including games, crafts, learning songs, hikes around the farm, and much more.
Cost:
The cost for the first child is $35 per child per night. Additional children will be reduced to $30 per child per night. Payments can be made through this form towards the end.
Your child's spot is secured once payment is received. If fewer than 5 children are enrolled by 8pm on the Thursday before the session, all payments will be returned and the session will not be held.
How to Prepare:
Children are expected to bring a packed meal for dinner, and are welcome to bring any night-time comforts like blankets, pillows, or (minimal) stuffies. Other things you may consider packing: bug spray, change of clothes, extra snacks, weather appropriate gear. We kindly ask to refrain from bringing personal toys to avoid loss of items or distraction amongst the crew.
Eat your Colors Program:
For each session, Kennedy Hunt will be preparing a fruit or vegetable for students to promote healthy eating and encourage a diverse and whole diet. This is driven out of a desire to introduce children to new foods or familiar foods prepared in a new way and share the gift of color and variety in foods that grow from the earth. Donations are appreciated but not expected/required. Any food preferences listed on this form will be accounted for in the preparation of the food.
Questions, Comments, Concerns, and any other Feedback:
This is not only the first time a program like this has been held on the farm, but the first time either Kennedy or Rachel are hosting one like this. If there is anything you think we should consider, please add it to the comment box at the end of this form. We want to work together with parents to create a meaningful experience for parents and children :)
