NEW AND EXCITING CURRICULUM
Rescue Ranch School | Spring 2025 ​
Why Choose Rescue Ranch School?
Rescue Ranch School is a unique learning experience for children ages 2-6, where farm life comes to life! Through weekly hands-on sessions, kids connect with nature, meet our rescued animals, and discover the joys of sustainable farming. Each week brings a new adventure with activities designed to inspire compassion, curiosity, and creativity.
Hands-On Learning and Play
At Rescue Ranch School, kids are part of the action! From collecting eggs and helping with simple farm chores to planting seeds and exploring the garden, every activity is an opportunity to learn through doing. These hands-on experiences teach responsibility, teamwork, and a love for the outdoors—all while having fun and making lasting memories.
Meet the Animals
Our rescued farm animals are at the heart of everything we do. Each week, kids are introduced to a different animal and their unique story. Whether it’s cuddling with a goat, brushing a donkey, or meeting a chicken up close, these special interactions teach kindness and empathy. Children learn how to care for animals and the role they play in sustainable and ethical farming.
Grow and Harvest: The Garden Program
Rescue Ranch School’s Garden Program invites kids to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty! Each child tends their own garden space, learning how to plant, water, and harvest fruits, vegetables, and herbs. They’ll explore how food grows, why it matters, and the connection between farming and healthy living. Gardening builds patience, responsibility, and pride while inspiring a lifelong love for nature.
