Program Details

Schedule

The program year runs from mid-September through early June. Schedule options are either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday, from 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM. Each day, we will provide a healthy, hearty snack of fruits or vegetables, using Wright-Locke Farm produce when possible. Closings and holidays will follow the Winchester Public School schedule. 

Student Eligibility

  • Applicants must attend an informational session prior to applying.
  • Children must be 3-5 years old, or 36 months by June 1, 2021 and no older than 60 months on June 1, 2021.
  • It is helpful for children to be able to use the bathroom independently.

Please note: The Forest Friends program differs from traditional preschool programs and may not be suitable for all students. To ensure that students will flourish in our program, we meet with parents/guardians and the student(s) on the farm prior to enrollment in the program.

Tuition

  • 2-Day program (either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday): $5,280 per year

For 2021-2022, a financial aid form will be attached to each application. If you have any questions, please contact ForestFriends@WLFarm.org.
