Cultivating Farm School Exploration

Hands-on exploration is important for kids because active, tactile learning engages multiple brain regions at once, which improves information retention, builds problem-solving skills, and sparks lifelong curiosity!
Did you know the farm school is working on accreditation? Cultivating Hope will be the only school in Iowa to have on-site access to mental health and ABA Beyond Behavior Autism Services services for our students and their families! Enrollment for the 27/28 school year will be open for registration the first of March!
