LGCS has created an integrated curriculum that addresses core Illinois learning standards using farm and nature topics. Our outdoor education program melds traditional classroom pedagogy with the benefits of being more connected with nature. Children learn to be stewards of our environment while experiencing many lifelong health benefits of enjoying a healthy lifestyle and building strong motor skills. An outdoor education program allows for a hands-on approach to learning that is diversified for each child. Children can engage their whole bodies as they explore, learn, and problem solve. Basic to complex science and math concepts are easily grasped. Students will grow their expressive spoken and written language and artistry skills by explaining the world around them giving them a unique creative writing, reading and journaling foundation.

Our Erinchment programming is curated from nationally recognized, standards-aligned programs such as common core and 4-H. We have created enrichment sessions to help your child become a global citizen, steward of our Earth, strong leader, and a confident learner. Throughout the week LGCS offers interdisciplinary activities that integrate with science, language arts, social studies, reading, math, art, music, and civics. Groups will be broken up developmentally Preschool & Pre-K, Kindergarten-1st Grade, 2nd-5th Grade.  While LGCS has never wanted to be a “daycare”, we welcome the opportunity to offer enrichment programs for those families looking for something more to enhance their child’s day or while their parents are working.

We know there’s a lot of great learning happening, but your child is just going to think they are having another fun day on the farm.

Subjects: Blend of science, social studies, art, music, and sports/gross motor
