The Nest · Children's Studio · Twilight
Weekly semester classes for ages 4–12+, where children explore story, art, and the natural world — taught in small, mixed-age groups with a homeschool-friendly rhythm.
A studio of their own
The Nest is the children's studio at The Fox & The Owl: a place built around instruction with imagination at its center. Each semester, children gather twice a week for classes that braid together storytelling, art, movement, and the natural world — the kind of learning that doesn't feel like sitting still.
Classes meet Tuesday and Thursday during the day, in step with the rhythm of homeschool families — though every family is welcome, and every child belongs.
Two paths, one nest
Weekly · ages 4–12+ · Tue/Thu daytime
Fables, folktales, and myths from around the world, brought to life through movement, art, and storytelling. One week the class becomes a fox outwitting a crow; the next, they're painting the phoenix they just heard rise.
Global traditions, hands-on projects, and plenty of room for a child's own telling of the tale.
For the child who asks “and then what happened?”
Weekly · ages 4–12+ · Tue/Thu daytime
The natural world, met with curiosity and dirt under the fingernails. Plants, animals, and the turning of the seasons explored through art, gardening, and group play — a semester that changes as the year does.
Seed to sprout, acorn to oak, observation to wonder.
For the child whose pockets come home full of rocks.
Mixed ages, by design
Like siblings around a table, children learn as much from each other as from any lesson plan. Our groups are mixed-age on purpose.
The youngest explorers
Wonder-first. Stories, senses, and small hands learning what they can make.
Finding their wings
Bigger projects, bolder questions, and the first taste of leading a younger friend.
The eldest, 12 and up
Mentors in the making. They guide, demonstrate, and discover that teaching is its own kind of learning.
Cohort names may evolve as the first families make them their own.
For the grown-ups
While your child is in class, you're already here — and the rest of The Fox & The Owl is a few steps away.
Wellness studio
Take a yoga class, breathe, or claim a quiet hour with a journal while the storytelling happens down the hall.
