We Are Open!
Little Schoolhouse in the Woods is a non profit outdoor early education program based in Cincinnati, Ohio. We have worked hard to improve access to the outdoors with an outdoor shelter and outdoor hand washing stations, as well as enhanced cleaning protocols.
Donate Today!
We work hard to provide quality nature based experiences for early childhood, but our program costs don’t cover all of our expenses. If you’d like to support our dream of providing nature based education for children, please contribute by clicking here. Give a little, or give a lot, you’ll be supporting the love of nature and happy childhoods! Simply click on the donate button below to donate today! Thank you!!
Open House 2022
We are excited to host an Open House on October 15, 2022 from 10am until noon. We do not currently have any openings, but will be filling openings for next school year. Due to limited space, please RSVP by October 8 by emailing littleschoolhouseinthewoods@gmail.com.
This is an opportunity get to know us and to share your intentions for your child to join our program for the 2023/2024 school year. We look forward to meeting you!
Community Story Time (w/JackO’Lanterns!)
Every year, we carve as many JackO’Lanterns as we can and then we line our Nature Trail and let the students come in the evening to see them all lit up! This year, we’re including YOU. That’s right, bring the littles and take a short hike on our trail to see a bunch of JackO’Lanterns lit up! We’ll tell a story (not spooky) and maybe sing the Five Little Pumpkins! This is great for younger children, siblings and families. Due to limited space, please RSVP by October 22 by emailing us at littleschoolhouseinthewoods@gmail.com.
Muchas Gracias!
We are so grateful to Chris Leonard! His daughter no longer attends Little Schoolhouse, but he’s been working hard helping us out in a number of ways! Last summer, he helped excavate an area connecting the parking to the second driveway and filling it with gravel. This was a huge amount of work, and he was doing it in the hottest part of the summer! It looks great and has been a huge help with our traffic flow this year. He’s helped in so many other repairs and improvements around the yard and school over the past years that we can’t even count them all! If you see Chris around, buy that guy a beverage!
Hike-A-Thon 2022!
We are excited to announce our Hike-A-Thon fundraiser was a huge success! You helped us exceed our fundraising goal of $2,000!!!. Your pledges supported our students in a daily hike from April 4-8, culminating in a Saturday hike at the Little Schoolhouse in the Woods (2628 Montana Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45211) on April 9 which was open to the community and was a bit rainy, but that didn’t stop the smiles and fellowship.
We love hiking with the children and hope to inspire everyone in our community to get outside and enjoy a hike! THANK YOU!
Work Day Volunteer Opportunity
We are hosting a Work Day soon! This is an excellent opportunity to help us get ready for the next big chapter in our outdoor education adventure! RSVP by emailing us at littleschoolhouseinthewoods@gmail.com
