Our mission and PHILOSOPHY

Rain or Shine School - rewilding education.

We offer a learning environment vibrant with nature that nurtures a sense of community and collaboration among children, their families, and the earth.

Mission: Our mission is to ignite a passion for learning and collaboration. We provide meaningful experiences that fully engage young minds creating global citizens whose lifelong love of outdoor learning makes the world a better place for all. 

Rain or Shine School exists to rewild education by nurturing connection to self, others, and the natural world through a relationship centered, play based, and nature immersed approach to learning..

Returning childhood to connection, rhythm, and the natural world. We believe childhood is a time of exploration, discovery, curiosity, and wonder and that there is no better classroom than the natural world.

Philosophy: We know early childhood education is typically the first step away from a home setting and into an outside learning environment. Our vision is to make early childhood education a community experience where every member contributes to our children's education. Our program creates a secure and nurturing environment where children can learn about themselves and their world through play and healthy outdoor adventure. Children learn best through exploration and we pride ourselves on maintaining an environment that encourages wonder, exploration, and self-reliance. Children are our future; they are the stewards of our planet. We must give them the tools to take care of her. That is what we strive to do daily.


Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.
