Mario and Anna Vina visited over 50 preschools in the Los Angeles area while obtaining their teaching credentials. During observation, they noticed that students who spent more time outdoors seemed happier and more excited about learning. With this in mind, they made it their goal to create a fun, loving outdoor educational experience for the children to feel like they could explore and enjoy nature to the fullest extent.
Mario and Anna Vina owned and operated a preschool in LA for seven years while saving up to pursue their dream of acquiring land and opening a farm school. In 2007, they opened Farm School on a four-acre ranch. The location, surrounded by picturesque lemon and avocado orchards, permits an outdoor classroom environment where children learn as much from their surroundings as they do from their teachers.

Services
With our nurturing home environment, Farm School is your partner in your child's growth. From 6 weeks to 6 years old, we provide children with care and interactive outdoor education. The philosophy of Farm School is to use the outdoors to stimulate a child's interest in learning, helping them develop into a responsible and independent thinker with a lifelong love of learning.
Each day at Farm School is different! This schedule is meant to give a taste of the activities a child might enjoy on a given day, but by no means represents the full range of experiences that children get to take part in. Afterwards, students take part in an art project in small groups or even one-on-one, depending on the complexity of the project.

We love Farm School. The owners, Anna and Mario, are incredibly kind, caring and loving individuals. We had all three of our kids attend here. Most of our close friends have also had their kids attend this preschool or daycare. The kids play all day outside on a farm. They get to pick cherry tomatoes and pumpkins. They get to feed rabbits and chickens. There are a variety of toys as well. The educational part of the school is excellent. All three of our kids tested well when they entered kindergarten. One of the kindergarten teachers was so impressed by the kinder readiness of our kids and how

We had such a great experience at Farm School! Mario and Anna are so attentive and warm towards the kids. It really is like having extended family watching your child! The curriculum is very cute and fun. My daughter loved being in the outdoors enjoying the nature and all the fun things to play with. Even on the weekends she talked about Farm School constantly! We only left due to distance from our home/jobs and we needed care 5 days a week instead of the 4 that we had at Farm School. Highly recommend!

We LOVE the Farm School. Our daughter started at the Farm School when she was just a few months old and has been there for the last two years. Anna, Mario and (my)Berta have become like family to us. We love the outdoor environment and the fact that she gets to learn outside. Chickens, bunnies and a garden are just a few of the experiences the kids have daily. She is so happy and can tell that she is well cared for and loved. We enjoy the family events and parties they have at the Farm. It is a great location, just outside of town, but not out of the way. Highly highly recommend!!!
