“Woodhaven is aptly named. In a peaceful forested setting, with expansive and colorful classroom space, the place itself promotes nurturing, harmony, and curiosity. Add a dedicated teacher who is truly passionate and good-humored in her approach to young children, and a community of parents who care deeply about both emotional and intellectual development, and the result is an experience that our family will always cherish.” - Parent Tor

“When we asked our daughter Taylor what her favorite thing to do at school was, she answered, “I love to run down the hill!” We’re thinking on the same page here! We love the fact that there is so much outdoor education. Her imagination expands every day as she dreams up new stories about her friends at school and how they see the magic fairies and fish off the boat. Her school days carry into her play at home as she tells us her stories and we see her imagination continue to expand.” - Parent Hilary

“We feel fortunate to have found a wonderful school like Woodhaven. All three of our children have been so happy and excited about their experiences at school. Both my husband and I are lovers of the outdoors, and the fact that the children spend time each day outside discovering nature and using their imaginations made the school a perfect fit for our family. We welcomed the idea of a co-op which gives us an opportunity to have a say in our children’s education as well the opportunity to get to know the children and families our own children spend so much time with.” - Parent Maureen

“Woodhaven has really made our son blossom! The sense of community and sharing found at Woodhaven helps to instill the values and ideals that are important to our family. We love everything about the school from the involvement in the classroom to the exploration of the forest.” - Parents Michele & Justin

“Nature is a respected friend and teacher at Woodhaven. We love that.” - Parent Hilary

“As a cooperative parent and a mom, I absolutely adored Woodhaven School! I visited over 12 schools before sending my son. It was such a remarkable well-rounded environment. My son received a huge amount of emotional support, learned social skills, how to play and have fun, as well as was more than prepared to enter kindergarten this year. Plus, I don’t think it is possible to ever find such a special, knowledgeable, and intelligent teacher. Woodhaven is definitely fortunate to have Teacher Heidi. Hands down, this school is the best around!” -  Parent Missy

“The image that comes first to mind is the kids playing in the woods, discovering new adventures both in nature as well as in their social interaction.” - Parents Jeff & Jan

“Woodhaven is a wonderful extension of the home environment; especially if your family eats organic, strives to limit media, and WANTS full involvement in a child’s first school experience. We also loved the four hour day as it gives the children enough time to fully immerse themselves in learning on every level … socially, intellectually, physically, and mentally.” - Parent Nancy

“I’m a stay-at-home, home-schooling dad because this lifestyle works well for my family, but also because I am deeply committed to providing my children with the best emotional and intellectual experience possible. (Yes, I might also be a little crazy!) Woodhaven was fantastic not just for our daughter, but also for us. Although each Woodhaven family is in a different situation, they all share a similar commitment to the cultivation of curiosity, kindness, and the joy of discovery. The value of the Woodhaven community in our lives far exceeds pedestrian factors of cost and time.” -  Parent Tor
