Children Deserve To Grow in A Place and Alongside a Force That is as Wild and Alive as They Are - Nicolette Sowder

Casa Colibrí is a bilingual Spanish/English forest preschool for children aged 3-5. We are located on 1.7 acres of field, forest and stream in Milwaukie, OR, about five minutes east of downtown. We spend nearly all of our time outside, combining exploration and free play with focused activities like storytelling, singing, art, nature science, and homesteading. About 75% of Casa Colibrí's instruction and curriculum is in Spanish.

May we raise children

who love the unloved things

the dandelion, the worms

and spiderlings.             

 

Children who sense

the rose needs the thorn

& run into rainswept days

the same way they

turn towards the sun...

 

And when they’re grown &

someone has to speak for those

who have no voice

may they draw upon that

wilder bond, those days of 

tending tender things

and be the ones.
