Kingswood Montessori Academy in Homestead, Fl offers a unique experience to the students. Kigswood Montessori sits in a 4 acre campus in rural Homestead. We have a small farm with two Shetland ponies, a goose, chickens and roosters. The Elementary students in small groups take turn every day in the feeding of the animals with the help of the teachers. The preschool and todddlers students bring snack to share with the animals.

The Elementary students are also responsible for the animal's grooming. This work the children do with the animals not only fosters the responsibility of taking care of others in the children but it also instills a love an nurture for animals. Kingswood Montessori Academy is proud of the work the children do every day to take care of their animals and knows those are experiences the children learn and grow from.

The Gardening Program at Kingswood Montessori Academy nurtures each child's appreciation and understanding of the natural world by involving them in the processes of planning and maintaining a sustainable, ecologically-friendly garden.Goals:

1. To use the garden as an outdoor, experiential classroom for the child's engagement with the natural world

2. To lay the foundation to becoming skillful and knowledgeable gardeners by introducing children to gardening techniques, composting, and plant varieties.

3. To teach children about the connection between farming and food, and provide an awareness of where food comes from.

4. To teach children to honor their bodies with wholesome food, tastefully prepared, slowly eaten.
