PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Parents who are looking for a drop-off homeschool program that balances real academics, nature, and life skills in a wholesome environment. Since 2022, children have thrived at the Flying Starlings Inc® Homeschool Drop-Off Program on our private (spray-free) flower farm — a place where curiosity and joyful learning shape each day.

Small age-group classes, ensuring personalized attention and meaningful connections. There is movement, time to socialize, play and run in nature - all seasons. Children move through play to gentle, classical academic lessons that foster curiosity and confidenc. Days are balanced with hands-on applied arts like culinary, woodworking, textile, vintage and nature crafts nurturing the whole child: mind, body, and heart. We introduce reading and writing with teachers who understand processing and individual needs. We serve a variety of children, including those with neurodiverse learning needs.

We teach The Living Childhood Method™ developed by Flying Starlings Inc® where modern science shows (again and again) that this truly benefits children. And we do it in the right tone, style, and pattern that makes an impact. Your child is seen, they matter, they are heard and understood, and they are honored. You as a parent have a voice that matters too. We don’t just have the science to back up the beauty and design here… we have handwritten letters and drawings from joyful little hearts thanking us each week, smiles and friendships made, and families that come back year after year. We don’t forget childhood — it lives, learns, and plays here.

The Living Childhood Method™
A proprietary educational framework developed by Flying Starlings Inc® that structures the child’s day according to developmental biology, integrating movement, social interaction, creative play, and academic engagement within a carefully designed environment that promotes nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and cognitive growth.

This method preserves elements of traditional, time-honored childhood experiences while applying modern understanding of neurological development and learning science.

Everything is intentional.

• Movement, crafting, and hands-on lessons are designed to increase motor skills — including ones that benefit handwriting.

• The order in which we teach is designed to let a child rest, create, restore, and encourage deeper memory and recall.

• The day is structured in ways that give children confidence and a voice.

• The whimsy keeps imagination and wonder alive.

• Even little teacups and fine-quality crafts remind each child they are special.

The Farm…

Childhood is allowed here! Days are spent playing and learning on our 3.14-acre (pie-shaped) private flower farm with vibrant peonies, edible blooms, sensory gardens, and fairy-tale spaces located in North Dartmouth, Ma.. Over 6,000 sq ft of heated barns and indoor spaces, bathroom, a kitchen, and even a riding corral with twinkle lights and paved pickleball courts offer movement and social time — no matter the weather.

All supplies, ingredients, and materials are fully included!!!
