Upcoming Events

The Treehouse, a Forest Garden School celebrates the cycles of the year through a rich and vibrant festival life.  Celebrating these festivals helps us to connect with the natural cycle of the Earth and establish a yearly rhythm for our children.  Through these festivals, the school cultivates community among children, teachers, parents and friends.

​

Festivals help us to nourish our souls through the sharing of stories, food, songs and activities linked to the seasons and expressed with beauty and reverence. In addition to the community-wide festivals listed here, teachers celebrate other festivals in the classroom, including those connected to different cultures being studied.

​

"A festival has the quality of lifting us out of the ordinary and into the mysteries and magic of the rhythm of the seasons."

Forest Fun Run

Doors Open: 3:30
Forest Run Begins: 4:00

On Friday, April 4th we will be hosting our fourth Run Fundraiser, Rain or Shine! If we do get some refreshing Spring Rain we will have an abundance of tents to keep spectators dry and the children will still have fun running about in their gear. This event is open to all children, with sections tailored for both older and younger participants. Every child is encouraged to participate at their own pace, making it a fun and inclusive activity for all. People may begin arriving at 3:30 and we will begin running the course at 4pm. If you have a 4:30 pickup and cannot arrive early that's ok! Your child will get to participate in the event and we will have lots of pictures and videos. The theme for this year's Forest Run is Rainbows! We will celebrate this special season of warm sun, cool rain, and abundant flowers bursting forth. We encourage all participants to come dressed up in their rainbow attire, dressed as flowers, or dressed up in any other way that Rainbows inspires! In the lead-up to the run, each class will be engaged in activities to build excitement and anticipation. Even the Teachers are SO excited to dress up!

May Faire and 15th Anniversary

10:30-12:00

Dear Treehouse Families, Alumni and Community members, You are jubilantly invited to our May Faire and The Treehouse’s 15th Anniversary with us. We are so honored to have been a part of so many lives in these past 15 years and want to celebrate this huge milestone with all of you. For this special Anniversary our May Faire will be FULL of enchanting additions! Enjoy classic May Faire activities like crafting spring wands and flower crowns before we gather for the Maypole dance. Delight in a visit from Lady Spring and her fairies, who will be sharing little gifts with the children. Share in the spirit of community at our bountiful potluck, then treat yourself to a sweet scoop from our organic ice cream booth, featuring plant-based alternatives. And for an extra dose of joy, we’ll have 8 baby goats visiting for everyone to cuddle and play with. Whether reminiscing with fellow alumni or embracing the present with current families, we look forward to celebrating this special milestone together in the beauty of spring. In a world that often feels divided, coming together in the spirit of community is the ultimate form of revolution. Now more than ever, we gather as one to celebrate connection, joy, and the journey we have shared. Join us for a beautiful morning in our Forest Garden, where old friends reunite, new memories are made, and the traditions that bind us continue to flourish.

Setting Healthy Boundaries

Parenting Seminar with Nicole De Picciotto

5:30-7pm

In this interactive workshop, Nicole will lead you through a simple but revelatory process in which you can clarify your approach to discipline and boundary-setting with your children of all ages (infancy through adulthood). Using the latest brain science, we’ll look at why most disciplinary strategies that were likely used on us as children don’t support our children’s development. We’ll learn what really works and why, along with useful tactics to assess what is most helpful in navigating any difficult situation. We’ll also take a look at what most often gets in the way of parental success with boundary-setting and learn together how to trouble-shoot sticky situations. Nicole is a coach for parents and adolescents who has seen time and again how parenting our children, through all its pressures and joys, presents a radical opportunity to grow as humans. And the more we grow, the better we parent. She has a private practice in which she helps overwhelmed and exhausted parents find their own parenting genius and fall in love with parenting once again. You can learn more and schedule a free consultation with her at nicoledcoaching.com
