Wild One’s

Enrichment Programs

Click Here To Become A “Wild Ones Member” $60 Donation To Join!!!

Our enrichment programs are broken up into weekly opportunities for you and your “wild one” to join. We are not here to replace your existing homeschool program but enhance you and your child’s education in maybe a way they would not get a home. Together they will check a few of the boxes required by the state of Maine. Most importantly they will make lifelong friendships and truly be part of a community.

We are not licensed teachers but parents who want to have our children be part of a community of wild and free learners. Parents get to emerge into the program as we all volunteer to make “Wild In M.E.” the best it can be. Just as our gardens it takes all of us to grow. Parents stay with the child for the entirety of the program.

We are a non-business volunteer community. If your child is older or younger, then the recommended age that is OK. How our community makes donations for our enrichment programs is by our honor jar system. When you come to an enrichment program you place your donation payment in the honor jar provided.

Become A Wild One In Maine.

It all began with my daughter dream to learn with friends. I am so excited to meet you and your family. Back six years ago I felt all alone and I thought I needed to do it alone. Over time I realized I can’t do this alone. I need families like you not just my children but for me too. Together we can change the world because we are doing this together.
