What is Islamic nature education?

Islamic nature education integrates scientific observation with spiritual reflection, fostering a deep connection between children and Allah's creation.

Our mission is to nurture each child’s fitra through play and exploration, while building confidence, responsibility, and a sense of community. Rooted in Islamic values, we encourage reflection on the signs of Allah (SWT) by fostering a deep sense of connection with the natural world.

frequently asked questions

Currently we offer weekly outdoor, Islamic nature classes that focus on life sciences and traditional skills. We have four levels for different age groups: Chickadees (2-4), Hummingbirds (4-6), Cardinals (7-10), and Eagles (10-16). We also have a woodworking series and monthly Saturday Storytimes.

Unfortunately, no. Our nature and woodworking classes only enroll students for the full session because our lessons build upon each other and get filled quickly. However our Saturday Mommy & Me Storytimes can be registered as a one-time event.

We require students to wear waterproof boots, and we recommend wearing long sleeved shirts/long pants, insect repellent before drop-off, and bringing a water bottle. More details for specific classes will be sent once your child is registered.

Currently, we do not have a full-time school or summer camp.
