Will we be outside all year long, even in winter months?

Yes, we have a tent-shelter that will be used as our basecamp and learning center on days when the weather is frigid. Students are expected to dress accordingly (a list of clothing and snow/rain gear that is recommended for your child will be sent out after registration is complete).

Will there be snow days?

Stillwater Field School will be following the Spokane Public School’s calendar for breaks, holidays, and snow days.

Will snacks be provided?

YES! Healthy snacks are included. Don’t worry, if your learner has an allergies, we’ll be sure to steer clear of those foods.

How much does it cost to sign up?

There is a $100 deposit to register which will be refunded to you at the end of the semester. The cost is $300/month which calculates out to about $12.50/hour. Payment is due on the first Monday of every month.

Can I sign my child up for all four days?

Yes! If you would rather have your student attend both cohorts, we would be happy to see them all four days!

Does my child need to be potty trained?

Yes, we do require all of our little learners to be potty trained.

What curriculum will be used?

We are a play-based outdoor school that emphasizes exploration and connection to the natural world. We will utilize Exploring Nature with Children as well as The Habitat Schoolhouse Curriculums. It is our goal to ensure learning is fun, interactive and engaging for all students. With a certified educator on our team, we believe in the importance of preparing young learners for Kindergarten and First Grade. Students will keep a nature journal and focus their learning around the changing seasons with weekly poems, art, themed books, nature walks, and basics such as numbers/letters/shapes/colors and more!
