From your baby's very first farm visit to a summer full of adventure β there's a place here for every child, every season.
Barn Babies is our parent-and-child program on Friday mornings β and for many families, it's where the love affair with Farmschool begins. Come spend an hour (or more!) with us, meet our animal friends, get to know the staff, and experience firsthand what makes Farmschool at Lolly & Pop's so special. This is the best way to "tour" Farmschool.
When you join the waitlist, you will be given more information about how to sign up for Barn Babies sessions! Your first visit is always free, so there's no reason not to come meet us. Barn Babies is open to children of all ages with a parent or guardian present.
Barn Babies is a wonderful way for little ones to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of farm life before transitioning into our preschool program. It's also a great way for parents to connect with our community, ask questions, and see if Farmschool is the right fit for your family. Many of our current Farmschool families got their start at a Barn Babies morning!
We know the wait for a spot in our full preschool program can feel long β and we don't want your child to miss out on the farm while they wait. Farmer Friday is a one-day-a-week, 3-hour program designed specifically for waitlist families with children ages 3β5.
Think of it as a mini-Farmschool: a full Friday morning of farm chores, learning activities, creative projects, and animal time β all the good stuff from our preschool program, condensed into one morning a week. It's a wonderful bridge while your family waits for a full enrollment spot.
Farmer Friday is reserved for families who are currently on our Farmschool preschool waitlist. If you haven't joined the waitlist yet, we encourage you to do so β it's free, it doesn't commit you to anything, and it opens the door to programs like Farmer Friday while you wait for a full spot.
Who says learning stops in the summer? Summer School at Lolly & Pop's is a week-long, 4-day program (MondayβThursday) offered throughout June and July. It's a chance for Farmschool families, waitlist families, and Farmschool alumni to reconnect with the farm, make new friends, and keep the learning going all summer long.
Choose a morning session, an afternoon session, or mix and match across different weeks. Each week stands on its own, so you can join us for one week or several β whatever works best for your summer.
Summer School is a wonderful way to keep kids connected to the rhythms of farm life between school years. Children tend to thrive when they have structure and purpose over the summer, and there's no better place for that than the farm. It's also a great way for alumni to revisit their Farmschool roots and for waitlist families to give their children a real taste of what's waiting for them.
All of our programs draw from the same waitlist β get on early to receive updates
about enrollment openings, new programs, and Farmschool news.
