Summer Camp session 1

Haaaayyy playschool folks n' friends, Happy Summer!

 I pray that the solstice and yer fold into all this golden sunshine was magical, sensual, and purely delightful. I pray that yer bare feets and flung open hearts have been greeting the water, yer good friends, and the forest floor as much as yer life possibly allows you the space fer them kinda thangs. 

After a full month off of playschool fer our summer break, we've been luvin' it up over here this week with our first session on summer camp. Lazy summer days spent loungin' round in the garden pools, runnin' through the sprinklers, playin'  at the water tables, and restin' in tha  shady spots too. All them stories be over on our Adventure Stories page if'n yer interested in catching' up with us over there. Today we'll close our circle and spend our last day together before the Lorax n' I head out fer another month of adventures with my growed~up friendz n' friendz from other circles. 

I leave with a heart all fulled up and a deeper appreciation fer my familiars and relations that dwell in this ol' Portland Town. But actually and specifically, the luv that's made in this hearth and in this home when we share it together. Life in this place just wouldn't and couldn't be sparkly enough fer me with out you all. Y'all dun been built into the foundation of this here wooden heart of mine. Thanks. 

All good thangs to ya over this next month.

Until we meet again fer our next session of summer camp.

Enrollment For 2018-2019 Playschool Year

 Miz Flow, Liam, Violet, Liam, Sibyl, Lucio, Lila; recent session of  an afternoon

We are opening up registration and waiting lists for our 2018-2019 playschool year! 

If you are a returning family please use this form to confirm that you'll be returning for our next year together. We'd sure love to have ya back! 

Please do be mindful that I need all folks intending to join us for 2018-2019 to fill out this form, even if yer a returning family. This will help me know what i'm getting myself into for this next year and how to plan for it all. 

If yer family is new to the Moon's Nest and is looking to join us for yer first year, this is also the form to use to let us know. Once I receive yer intent to enroll notification, I'll follow up with an email and an invite to join me for tea so we can meet and greet. At that point, if it's a good fit, I'll send you the registration forms. Once i get those back, yer spot for 2018-2019 will be confirmed.

We have limited spaces available but I do expect that a few will be opening up for the start of our year in September. Priority will be given to returning families. If there are more folks who intend to enroll than we have space for, I'll open up a waiting list. If that waiting list is long enough and the budget works out, we'll bring on a 2nd teacher to be able to enroll all interested parties and maintain a low ratio. 

Again, please do fill out the 2018- 2019 Enrollment Form just as soon as you are able. 
Okay dears, thanks so much fer yer help with planning our next playschool year! 

Contribute to our 2018-2019 Scholarship Fund

Our 2018-2019 playschool year begins in September and I already have more requests for scholarship than imma gunna be able to offer, and still be able to float the overhead. I'd sure like to be able to get closer to our scholarship funding goals before then and be able to offer more scholarships and compensate one or two more queer teaching partners. I'm wearing a whole lotta hats and would love to be able to give more time to admin work, developing curriculum, and building our programming.

So, if you got a few bucks to tithe monthly, please do consider supporting this work and access to a varitety of folks and families who really do benefit from it. And, if ya ain't got a few bucks, sharing this platform with yer network is just as helpful. Please do help me spread the werd with the folks of yers who would be happy to contibute to the work of raising gaggles of gender bending, gentle hearted, land tending, empire resisiting witches. 

Thanks a bunch! 

That's it for this month friends! 

May our days together be full

of play, adventure, and connection.
