Fall 2026

Ages 0-6

Fridays, 10:00 AM – 1:00PM
@ Sticks & Stones Farm, Newtown, CT

Join us on Fridays for a nourishing community building experience that benefits children and caregivers alike.  Through circle time, shared songs, child-led play and exploration, the kids have time to express their never ending creativity in the forest while caregivers also get to make new friends and feel the grounding effects of the land.  Your kids can look forward to making tea and cooking over the campfire, storytelling, learning about animals and plants, crafting and playing in the leaves!

Info & Packing List

  • Check the weather before you come.  We will have class rain or shine. Stay informed so you have what you need.
  • If we need to cancel class due to weather (thunderstorms, high winds, etc.) You will receive a text at least 2 hours before class starts.
  • Please Park in the larger lot to the right. We will meet in front of the Stone Barn.
  • There is a Porta-Potty for our use in the field right next to the parking lot. Once we hike up the hill, be prepared to go in the woods.
  • If you will be late or unable to attend any class, please text your instructor to let them know so we won’t be worried or waiting for you.  If you’re going to be very late, we will describe to you where we are or send someone to meet you.
  • The fastest way to get ahold of Rainbow is by text. My number will be provided in the welcome email.  If you have any questions as you prepare for the first day, please feel free to ask.
  • Sticks and Stones is a very welcoming place!  You can picnic before or after class time or go for additional walks on the property any day.  We just request that you clean up well after yourselves and your kids.

  • There are no refunds.
What to Bring
  • Lunch and Snacks! (Your kids may eat even more than usual in this active outdoor environment)
  • A Full Water Bottle.
  • A dry change of clothes, including socks and water shoes.  Your kid may only be planning on putting their feet in and then fall and get completely wet.  Be prepared for that!
  • A backpack to put these things in.  Having a comfortable pack is essential to enjoying your day.  If you carry everything in a tote on one shoulder, it can be uncomfortable and distract you from being in the moment.  If your child is over 5, they can have a small backpack and carry some of their own stuff.  
  •  If the weather looks wet, cold or windy, make sure to bring extra layers, wool socks, waterproof gloves and boots for both you and your child.
  • Wipes.
