What is Nurturing Earthlings?

Nurturing Earthlings is a nature based homeschool program being created here in Geelong.

With a strong focus on farm, land and nature based learning, it’s designed for families who have chosen the homeschooling path and are seeking something more connected, more grounded and more in tune with nature.

"This is not a school. It’s a gentle, community and parent led space where children are supported to learn in a way that feels natural and meaningful."

Our Story

"These boys are my why, my reason and my driving force behind everything I am creating."

Nurturing Earthlings is something I've been quietly working on that feels really close to my heart...

Something I had been searching for but couldn't quite find — so I felt called to start creating it myself.

I'm a stay-at-home mum of three boys, with my eldest approaching school age, and my husband and I found ourselves at a bit of a crossroads trying to find something that truly aligned with the kinds of learning, environment and childhood we wanted for our boys.

When we couldn't quite find exactly what we were looking for, that's when Nurturing Earthlings began to take shape.

These boys are my why, my reason and my driving force behind everything I am creating.

A space that feels aligned with our values, our beliefs and the kind of childhood we want for them... one where children can grow, explore, learn, connect and be exactly who they are at their own pace. Not at a pace we force kids to conform to.

And in turn, a space for other families who are searching for something similar.
