Get to Know the Site Tour Programs
Sprouts School
Sprouts School is a neighborhood, nature-based program grounded in learning through play and designed to make outdoor education accessible to all families. Serving children from infancy through age six (and up to ten in the summer), the school explores local streets and green spaces to discover the everyday nature found in San Antonio neighborhoods. In partnership with a local church, Sprouts has transformed underused outdoor areas into vibrant adventure play spaces where children grow strong bodies, curious minds, and kind hearts.
The Nest Nature School
The Nest Nature School is an outdoor based school currently serving students 3-5 years old, with a Kindergarten program opening in August. Students at The Nest develop strong bodies, inquisitive minds, and wild hearts through an emergent curriculum that allows students to be curious and invested in their learning. The Nest Nature School is located on a 60-acre Historic Farm property that becomes the students' third teacher in its amazing "beyond" spaces.
