Our Story
Little Fox preschool and elementary care programs ran from 2016-2022. The best part of our program were the outdoor camps we put on for winter, spring and summer breaks. We have decided to build a school on our 10 acre property in Elliston, near the Little Blackfoot river, allowing for immersive nature camps on the Little Fox Farm. Children will explore the woods, water, and learn all there is to know about the animals on the farm. Horses, emus, chickens, turkeys, ducks, dogs and cats...with many more animals to come in the future. We will have several gardens, build an underground root cellar, and give children the chance to learn, play and grow in every way.
Weekly field trips to nearby Montana towns, best nature areas, movie theaters, water parks and museums will also be a part of our program. We want to foster a love for our state and see all that it has to offer!
We will offer an overnight campout in Elliston, where we will look at the stars and planets through amazing telescopes. Every thing is a learning opportunity at Little Fox!
Being stewards of this precious Earth, and taking care of our fellow humans will be a primary focus at our camps. Every child can do great things with the right environment, love and support.
Our new school in Elliston will be finished by summer of 2027. We can't wait to share this journey with all of you as we grow our community together.
