We’re thrilled to share some wildly exciting news with our Katy community. The Wild School is bringing their incredible nature-based preschool program to a brand-new location right here in Katy, thanks to a unique and inspiring partnership with Rose Therapeutic Farm!
This expansion means even more families will have access to The Wild School’s beloved outdoor learning model, now on a spacious, serene property that’s perfect for exploration, connection, and growth. Nestled among nature and home to gentle therapy animals, this new location offers children the magic of wide-open space, peaceful trails, and hands-on experiences with the land and animals, all while learning.
So, What Is The Wild School?
At The Wild School, the great outdoors is the classroom. Their programs are rooted in the nature school philosophy, where children are empowered to explore, imagine, and thrive through child-led learning, play, and real-world discovery.
Rather than being confined to four walls, students are immersed in nature, building a lifelong love of learning through active, sensory-rich experiences that support growth in every domain: social, emotional, physical, and academic.
