OUR PROGRAMS
OGP is a nature-based program deeply rooted in the rhythms of the Sonoran Desert. Our mixed-age classrooms offer a nurturing space where children grow at their own pace, supported by loving teachers, purposeful routines, and a strong sense of community.
Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to reflect the unique ecology of Arizona. Children learn through seasonal themes, native plants and animals, and hands-on exploration of the desert around them. From harvesting mesquite pods and building fairy homes beneath palo verde trees to singing songs about monsoons and planting desert-adapted seeds, our days are filled with experiences that connect children to the land they call home.
Lesson plans weave in storytelling, gardening, movement, and meaningful work, engaging the whole child: head, heart, and hands.
We offer flexible scheduling options and are proud to be an ESA direct pay vendor, making our program more accessible to families seeking a warm, intentional early childhood experience in harmony with our desert home.
SEEDLINGS
Ages 1-2 years
Our Nursery program offers a warm and gentle transition from home to school for our youngest children. Rooted in love and rhythm, the classroom feels like an extension of home, nurturing a toddler’s need for comfort, movement, and growing independence.
The environment is carefully prepared to support their natural curiosity, offering simple, purposeful activities that invite exploration and build confidence.
Through daily routines, songs, and storytelling, children are surrounded by rich language and meaningful connection. Our days flow gently, allowing each child to feel held, seen, and supported as they begin their first steps into a wider world.
SPROUTS
Ages 2.5 - 3.5 years
Our preschool community is rooted in warm, trusting relationships with teachers, with friends, and with the natural world. Each day offers rich opportunities for imaginative play, meaningful connection, and time outdoors. With a gentle rhythm and thoughtful guidance, children feel safe to explore, create, and grow. This nurturing foundation supports not only future academic success, but also protects their sense of wonder and fosters a love of learning.
Through seasonal projects, storytelling, and hands-on experiences, children gain confidence and a deep sense of belonging. Our approach meets them where they are and helping them flourish in their own time.
BLOSSOMS
Ages 3.5 - 6 years
Our Pre-K community is a warm, play-centered environment where young children build foundational skills through rhythm, repetition, and rich sensory experiences. With a focus on social-emotional development and creative play, the day flows gently, blending child-led exploration with teacher-supported activities that nurture early literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving.
The mixed-age setting allows younger children to observe and learn from one another. This fosters empathy, confidence, and cooperation. Our Pre-K program offers a gentle bridge to more formal academics, while honoring the joy, movement, and wonder of early childhood.
ENRICHMENT
Ages 6 - 9 years
Our homeschool enrichment program for ages 6–9 is a hands-on, nature-based learning community that blends child-led exploration with intentional, teacher-guided activities. Through seasonal projects, storytelling, and garden work, children build foundational academic and social skills in a meaningful, real-world context.
The mixed-age setting encourages mentorship and collaboration—older children step into leadership roles, while younger ones are inspired to stretch and grow alongside their peers.
