"We grew up in a simpler time.  A time where outdoor play was our teacher & our friends were the kids down the street"

Will your child experience life,
​or will they see it through a piece of glass?

Interaction

Hands-on learning!  Children who "touch" life at an early age are more likely to succeed in school & life as they mature.

Experience

Get outside!  Experiencing nature - we work, play, design, build, test, and retest in all weather as long as it's safe.

Development

Empowering and Fostering Independence!  We tenderly urge, "Do it!", even while you're afraid. Fears melt away when you get on the other side of them.
"Twaddle.  If I were to have to label much educational material today, I'm afraid a large percentage would definitely be twaddle . . . We don't respect the children's thinking or let them come to any conclusions themselves!"
Susan Schaeffer Macauly's, For the Children's Sake, page 16
At Off To The Farmhouse we aim to be TWADDLE free!  We facilitate various adult/child activities, drop-off events, field trips as requested, and now some virtual learning.  We are currently in North County San Diego and plan to offer additional locations in and out of California, in the near future: if this interests you, let us know.  If you would like to facilitate as a 'lead', the joy of a child learning here, please make contact. 

We enhance the efforts of all young families by supporting the homeschool, charter school, and public and private school options of education.We steer clear of the vax debate and political bantering, honoring your personal decision-making process for your own family. 
You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.
