Nature Education Cooperative began as a co-op program in Delray Beach, Florida where learners explored sensory-rich activities in science, nature, creative arts, cooking, herbal apothecary, mindfulness, and decolonized history. This thriving program is excited to launch our collection of curriculum nationwide thanks to funding from Vela Education Foundation.
Our curriculum options will continue to grow over the next year to include all of our classes, as well as starter guides to support others to start their own homeschool co-op.
