Discover Gather & Grow Nature School's Story

---

Gather & Grow began in 2025 with a simple goal: to create the kind of homeschool community our own family was searching for. When we couldn’t find a program that combined meaningful learning, time outdoors, and strong family connections, we decided to build one. What started as a small group of local families quickly grew into a welcoming community built on curiosity, kindness, and shared experiences.

As Gather & Grow continued to grow, so did our vision. Today we offer a homeschool enrichment co-op along with nature programs for children of different ages. Every program is rooted in the same belief that children learn best through experiences, meaningful relationships, and time spent exploring the natural world.

Our mission is to inspire a lifelong love of nature. We strive to help children build confidence, develop curiosity, and form a lasting connection with the natural world while creating a place where families can learn and grow together.

At Gather & Grow, we believe every stage of childhood deserves meaningful opportunities to learn and explore outside. That’s why we offer a homeschool enrichment co-op, Little Sprouts for our youngest explorers, and Junior Naturalists for elementary aged children. No matter which program you choose, your child will learn through hands on experiences, outdoor exploration, and meaningful community.

Gather & Grow was founded by Hope Sullivan with the vision of creating a nature centered homeschool community where children can learn and grow together. While Hope provides the structure, overall direction of the program, and runs our classes, our community is strengthened by the unique talents of our families. Parents and local professionals lead many of our Creative Studio and Life Lab experiences which allows children to learn from a variety of skills, passions, and real world expertise while building meaningful connections within our community.
