Why The Hundred Acre Wood Farm and Forest School?
At The Hundred Acre Wood Farm and Forest School, we believe nature is one of the greatest classrooms a child can have. Time spent in the woods offers opportunities for growth that simply cannot be replicated indoors. As children build forts, explore trails, care for animals, tend gardens, and engage with the natural world, they develop confidence, resilience, creativity, and independence.
The benefits of regular time in nature extend far beyond physical activity. Children who spend time outdoors experience reduced stress, improved focus, stronger social skills, and greater emotional well-being. Through exploration, teamwork, and hands-on experiences, they learn patience, problem-solving, responsibility, and empathy.
Most importantly, children learn to slow down and discover the wonder around them. They develop a deeper connection to nature, a sense of stewardship for the world they live in, and memories that will last a lifetime.
Our goal is not simply to teach children about nature—it is to allow nature to help shape who they become.
Because childhood should be filled with adventure, discovery, imagination, and time spent beneath the trees.

Our Mission
Our Mission
At 100 Acre Wood Forest School, we believe the best learning happens through doing. From building forts, maps, and birdhouses, to caring for animals and gardening, children learn confidence, responsibility, teamwork, and problem-solving through real experiences.
Our Purpose
Our Mission
Our Mission
Our forest school was born from a deep belief that childhood is meant to be lived outdoors — with muddy boots, curious hands, and hearts full of wonder. As homeschooling parents, we have always believed that some of life’s greatest lessons happen outside of four walls, where children can build confidence, creativity, resilience, and imagination through real experiences in nature.

Hi! We're Katie Verducci and Victoria Weber, the faces behind The Hundred Acre Wood Farm & Forest School. We are both homeschool moms, and military veterans. Long before we were educators, we were childhood friends spending our days down at the creek, building forts, climbing trees, getting muddy, and coming home only when the sun started to set. Those memories shaped who we are, and they're exactly the kind of childhood we want to help preserve for today's kids.
