A Charlotte Mason and Waldorf-Inspired Seasonal Nature Study for the Whole Family

“We are all meant to be naturalists, each in his own degree, and it is inexcusable to live in a world so full of the marvels of plant and animal life and to care for none of these things.” - Charlotte Mason

Treehouse Nature Study is a seasonal nature study curriculum designed with family-style learning in mind. It is a gentle guide meant to invite various ages to connect with each other and the world around them through living books, nature notebooking, hands-on projects, and beauty subjects such as poetry, picture study, and folk songs.

From preschool through upper middle school, it appeals to every age and is easily used with multiple ages at the same time. It would be a great fit for your preschool or kindergartener’s core curriculum or your whole family’s home education Morning Time and Nature Study. It also provides supplemental work for your children’s language arts through poetry memorization, recitation, copywork, and notebooking.

    Beautiful resource

    My family and I are really enjoying this curriculum. I love that you can expand on the included information to make it more appropriate for older learners or make it more simple for younger ones. It's been great so far!

    Amazing!

    My kids love this curriculum. They love the lessons and the hands on activities. They get to pick their book of choice from the book basket to read so it’s always interesting for them.

    Best of Nature Study Curriculums ~ and we've tried quite a few!

    I took the leap in ordering this bundle of Nature Studies, and have been no less than amazed at their depth and quality, while still savoring of the sweet simplicity inherent in all the Treehouse Schoolhouse products. We have used quite a few different types of Nature Study guides and even a subscription or two, but none of them came close to the ease of use, powerful beauty, and joy for the children that we've experienced time and again with Treehouse Schoolhouse. I am just a normal homeschooling Mom who was always struggling to fit in this formative and inspiring school subject, until finding these guides, and now it seems that we are actually not just 'getting it done', but thriving, and loving every minute. Thank you so much to you all!
