In partnership with the City of Cotati, Sandy Loam offers Montessori-inspired enrichment programs that allow preschool and elementary-aged children to be active participants in the care of Veronda-Falletti Ranch.
More than 100 years ago, Dr. Maria Montessori revolutionized our understanding of how young people learn through her research and experiences. Her theory of child development and the resulting method of education continues to be validated to this day.
We are inspired by Dr. Montessori’s belief that farms are the optimal educational laboratories. At Sandy Loam, we integrate the fundamental principles of the Montessori Method with an immersive farm- and nature- based learning environment for all. Our programs are implemented by experienced instructors & camp counselors who hold background & health clearances.
