(West) Orlando, FL – Nature Group

Hi! We are a small and simple CM preschool nature group focused for ages 3-6 (siblings welcome!). We meet monthly on Thursday mornings at 10am to explore different parks/preserves/etc. mostly on the west side of Orlando, including Clermont, Winter Garden, Ocoee, etc.

Because our children are younger and not in formal lessons yet, the meetings are very casual with the children mostly just exploring, playing, and us enjoying the nature trails together while we encourage observation through modeling and simple game ideas Charlotte Mason provides in her Home Education Volume.

I hope this group can be a Christ-centered community for mothers and children as we seek to glorify God through our home education journey. Please reach out if you're interested, we'd love to have you join!

Little Explorers Nature Club

Little Explorers Nature Club, designed for children aged 2–10, offers Charlotte Mason–inspired outdoor sessions that ignite curiosity and promote joyful, hands-on learning in nature.

Our semi-structured “Learn, Play & Explore” sessions introduce a new nature theme each week! Children enjoy storytime, theme-based crafts or experiments, and plenty of free play and exploration in the great outdoors.

We currently offer three weekly sessions:
Monday Nature Club | 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Wednesday Nature Club | 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Held at local trails and beaches across Prince George’s and Anne Arundel counties (all within 30 minutes of Bowie, MD). These sessions emphasize nature exploration and community.

Thursday Backyard Studio | 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM
Hosted in our private outdoor space in Bowie, this cozy, play-based enrichment program includes Bible time, STEAM activities, crafts, sensory play, storytime, and outdoor free play, perfect for PreK through early elementary learners.

All sessions are Charlotte Mason–inspired, faith-based, and family-friendly. Parents or caregivers attend alongside their children to foster a supportive, connected community.

Charlotte Mason Community

We're a group of moms just starting out and also more experienced. We are working our way through readings focused on Charlotte Mason's 20 principles. We meet once a month to discuss what we've read.
We also have a monthly nature walk and I organize Recitation Nights quarterly for families to share their work.

Fieldwork Fridays

“Fieldwork” is essentially nature study. We get out in nature and explore it together! Fieldwork Fridays are a great place to connect with other homeschool families and learn about the Charlotte Mason approach to nature study. This is a relaxed group that welcomes homeschoolers that use any methodology in the home. Charlotte Mason experience and/or application is not needed to enjoy our group, it simply acts as a framework to aid in planning our outings and group activities!

We will meet in the Murray (Calloway County, KY) and/or Paris (Henry County, TN) areas. Please reach out with any questions and if you’d like to help get this group going strong!
