Kettle & Crow
Meets Little Creek Ranch
Nestled within the serene landscapes of Little Creek Ranch in Ashland, Oregon, Kettle and Crow Forest School offers a unique and immersive educational experience for children who thrive on curiosity and adventure. Our mixed-age preschool and kindergarten is more than just a place to learn; it's a journey into the heart of nature, where the classroom extends far beyond four walls.
Discover the Magic of Little Creek Ranch
Our school is fortunate to call Little Creek Ranch in South Ashland its home. The days are filled with adventures in the enchanting gully and along the gentle flow of the quiet creek that meanders through the property. The natural terrain provides endless opportunities for exploration, learning, and play. Children are captivated by the daily sights and sounds of the ranch: from the horses galloping in the distance to the friendly farm school dogs and chickens, each day is a new discovery.
Rustic Retreat Amidst Nature
While the great outdoors is our primary classroom, we are also fortunate to have a charming, rustic tiny house that serves as our cozy retreat for those few times when we need to seek shelter. Whether it’s a sudden wind storm or a quiet space for reflection and indoor learning, this tiny house ensures that our connection with nature is uninterrupted, providing a safe and warm space for creativity and learning to flourish.
Experience Learning in the Wild
At Kettle and Crow Forest School, we believe that children learn best through direct experience with their surroundings. Our program is designed to foster a deep love and respect for nature, encouraging students to engage with the environment hands-on. Through guided exploration of the quiet gully and creek, as well as observations of the ranch’s animal residents, children develop a sense of stewardship for the earth and an understanding of their place within the natural world.
