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.

Living Coastal Collective

If you’ve been praying for a homeschool community rooted in Christ, rich in nature, beauty, and meaningful connection—you may have just found your place.

Our group meets every other Tuesday in the Golden Isles area. Inspired by the Charlotte Mason philosophy, we believe education is a joyful, living journey. Together, we explore God’s creation through nature study, music, art, poetry, and more—cultivating wonder, wisdom, and friendship.

If you’re seeking a Christ-centered warm and supportive community, we’d love to hear from you!

Lithia Nature Play

Charlotte Mason inspired Nature Play Group - Forming Spring 2026

I'm gathering interest for a CM inspired nature play group in the Lithia, Valrico, and Riverview area or Tampa Bay. Aiming to begin in Spring 2026 (possibly earlier if there is enough interest).

The group welcomes all ages, with a focus on children in K - 6th grade. We will meet on Fridays to spend time outdoors, play, and build community.

Our weekly rhythm will include:
- Outdoor park meetups and free play
- Exposure to some of the "riches" (rotated and planned by families)
- Nature study and time in God's creation
- Occassional field trips, depending on group interest

Interested group members must agree to the following:
- Active group participation, attending at least twice per month
- Plan or host one of our meetups each semester
- No sharing our group events or adding outside members before they have been vetted, this ensures group safety and comfort, which is of utmost importance.

My sincere hope is that this group flourishes into something beyond just a play group, but a true group of friends and support. To facilitate this, I would ideally like to keep the group at a manageable size, and with familes who can commit to being consistent so we can form deep and lasting friendships.

If this resonates with you and you are in the Lithia, Valrico, Riverview area (or okay with driving to the area) please connect with me!
