"AS A CHILD, ONE HAS THAT MAGICAL CAPACITY TO MOVE AMONG THE MANY ERAS OF THE EARTH; TO SEE THE LAND AS AN ANIMAL DOES; TO EXPERIENCE THE SKY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A FLOWER OR A BEE; TO FEEL THE EARTH QUIVER AND BREATHE BENEATH US; TO KNOW A HUNDRED DIFFERENT SMELLS OF MUD AND LISTEN UNSELFCONSCIOUSLY TO THE SOUGHING OF THE TREES.” -VALERIE ANDREWS, A PASSION FOR THIS EARTH

The Moon’s Nest Playschool is a gender affirming, wild and witchy playschool community located in Portland, Or.

.

We offer high quality, nature based, and magically infused early childhood development programming for queer families and their allies. Our pedagogical practice is influenced by Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, Anti~Bias, Coyote Mentoring, Unschooling and Forest Schooling principles. These philosophical principles all support our unique approach to offering our kiddos a Free Range Childhood full of play, adventure, and connection.

 

Our magical practice is rooted in the Reclaiming and Faery Traditions,

and guided by many great teachers and ancestors of path.
