Farm Preschool
Preschool paused due to the heat, join us for evening Family Night instead!
As summer settles in and the temperatures continue to rise, we’ve made the decision to pause weekday morning preschool sessions for the summer season due to the heat.
Instead of morning preschool, we’re excited to invite you to our new Family Nights on select Saturdays from 6:00–8:00 PM! These special evenings are all about wrapping up the farm day together—feeding, watering, brushing, and enjoying time with the animals in the cooler evening air. It’s going to be such a sweet way to gather and make memories.
We truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility!

Meet the Teacher!
Ms. Adalyn
Adalyn is a passionate teacher and the dedicated mother of three children. Born and raised in Central Florida, she has always had a deep appreciation for the outdoors and all the creatures who inhabit it. Having spent many years playing in the dirt and exploring the woods with bare feet behind her grandparents’ home, she understands the importance of being outside in the sunshine. Growing up, she loved an nurtured many different animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, cows and eventually a horse. She took every opportunity she could to saddle up and ride through green pastures.
Adalyn’s love for learning and teaching began with her degree in English from Brigham Young University, and she is excited to bring her background in literature and storytelling to the farm. In her free time, she enjoys singing with her family, playing guitar and writing music.
