Red Barn Academy

Red Barn Academy is a Reggio Emilia inspired preschool offering programs for children ages 2-6 years old with hands-on learning through nature, art, and farm experiences. The school operates year-round with flexible full-day enrollment options and emphasizes creativity, independence, and social-emotional development.

Philosophy

The philosophy at Red Barn Academy believes in the rights and opinions of each child. A child is a competent, capable, and natural researcher who has the desire for knowledge and life and is always ready for challenges. Children are encouraged to build upon their own interests and paths while furthering their basic skills such as problem solving and emotions. We emphasize creativity, independence and connection. Our Reggio Emilia inspired learning uses nature and the environment as a way of teaching curiosity and discovery. We focus on hands on learning and exploration to help students learn at their own pace.
