Do you want to introduce farming to your child? Do you want them to know where and how their food is grown? Do you have kids who are not afraid to get dirty, jump in and help, learn fast and work hard? Then, be sure to enroll them in the “Kinder-gardeners” program at OES Children’s Farm,
Program duration: 26 Jun 2022 till 23 Jul 2022, 5 Weeks.

2. Farming teaches children how to care for the soil
3. Farming teaches children nature and weathers awareness
4. Farming teaches children a better appreciation for food
5. Farming teaches children responsibility
6. Farming teaches children self-reliance

We are offering a sensorial learning experience for small children through this program. Click here to enrol your child!
Once enrolled, 20 children will be allotted a 3X3 sq.ft patch each to grow their leafys. They will be given a harvest program for 30 days (a typical Green leafy harvest cycle). They will be guided by our farming team members and OES team members on natural farming techniques. They will have sensorial learning from observing soil preparation, seeding, tending, weeding, plant health care, and harvesting. They will have to visit the patch (along with their parent/guardian) every weekend during designated hours and care for their crops.
For this Batch, there are 20 slots only. We are opening the program to 6-8 years age group on 26 Jun 22, Sunday.
