Parent Programs
At The Native School, we recognize that parents are integral to the learning journey, which is why we offer programs designed specifically with you in mind.
Our parent-focused initiatives provide opportunities to connect, learn, and grow alongside your child, fostering a deeper understanding of the educational philosophy that guides their experience. Whether through parent workshops, community events, or collaborative activities, we aim to support your role as your child’s first teacher. We believe that an engaged and informed parent community enhances every child’s growth, and our programs are built to empower you with the tools and connections to nurture your child’s natural curiosity and love for learning.
Together, we can create a supportive environment that extends beyond the classroom and into your home, building strong roots for lifelong learning and a shared appreciation for nature.
Join our Summer Book Club, a supportive and enriching space for parents to come together, connect, and dive into thought-provoking books on parenting, child development, and education. Led by professionals and designed to foster meaningful conversations, the club offers a chance to share insights, learn from one another, and build a stronger community. Whether you're seeking practical strategies or simply want to engage in thoughtful discussion, our book club provides a welcoming environment to grow alongside other parents on this journey.
