Lyon Acres Early Years Preschool

Lyon Acres Children's House is a nature-based early years drop-off program on twenty wooded acres in Willington, Connecticut — rooted in Charlotte Mason's philosophy of living books, nature study, practical life, and the unhurried rhythms of the natural world.

We offer two small sessions Monday through Thursday, August through June. Each session welcomes two enrolled children into our family for a total group of 6 children, moving through the day together on trails, in the wildflower meadow, around the family table, and in our woodland discovery room. Our days include ninety minutes of outdoor time in all weather, seasonal snack prepared together, tea, living books read aloud, poetry, gentle conversational Spanish, and the riches — music most weeks with a family member who has twenty years of pre-k experience, and cooking most weeks with a family member who has fifteen years of food program experience.

Morning session serves children ages 2½ to 4. Afternoon session serves children ages 3½ to 6. Tuition is $1,200 per month. Every enrollment begins with a tour.

Enrolling now for September 2026. Spots are extremely limited.

Nature Study Group

A brand-new Charlotte Mason nature study group in Northeast Ohio. This group is geared toward the younger Forms but is open to all ages. The current focus is on laying groundwork for the group, building habits of observation, and nature journaling. Parents are highly encouraged to participate with their own nature journal. We are still in search of the perfect location, but our default location will be Rocky River Reservation in North Olmsted. Please contact for more information, suggested materials, etc.

Charlotte Mason Meetup (Lehigh Valley, PA)

The Charlotte Mason Meetup of the Lehigh Valley (PA) offers regular book discussion for parents (currently Volume V) while children play and explore, as well as less structured social time in which we discuss topics of interest to the group, whether specifics of the CM method, book recommendations, planning and scheduling, or other relevant topics. Our purpose is to support each other as we learn about and implement Mason’s methods in our homes and schools, and this group is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about CM in community with other homeschoolers who are learning and growing together. We’ll be starting Volume VI, Toward A Philosophy of Education, this fall (2023); this volume is a great place to start for those new to Charlotte Mason as well as those with more experience.

We meet on Monday afternoons at parks around the Lehigh Valley; please contact us with any questions or for more information about how to join us.
