About Us
And Into The Forest I Go To Lose My Mind and Find My Soul
-John Muir
​Learning in Nature Enrichment School was a dream a long time in the making. After years of thinking and planning, with important pieces being put into place along the way, the dream is finally becoming a reality. We welcome you to explore these pages to gain more information about who we are, how we began and what we hope to offer our families.
Planting Roots
The Roots Create The Fruit. What Are You Planting?
-Rent Rodriguez
We are so blessed to plant our programs roots on a very special farm located in Polk County with the beautiful backdrop that Western North Carolina offers. The 150 acres provides endless opportunities for our program and for our children to continuously be enriched with new experiences. With this space and land we can help plant roots with the seeds of small humans that will grow into mighty trees.
Begin With Love
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
-Mother Teresa
Love is the foundation of our purpose. Our love for fostering the development of the minds of young children. Our love for nature and the importance of enjoying it, learning from it and perserving it. Our love for those we know already and for those we look forward to meeting.
Lead To Growth
Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.
-Albert Einstein
While it may look like we are merly playing with dirt, the roots of our program will foster the cognitive and emotional development of children through imaginative and interactive play in nature. We hope to instill a passion for lifelong learning by creating a mind that is always seeking, always wondering, always growing.
