At Connolly Ranch Education Center, we’re dedicated to forging profound connections between children and families through the boundless wonders of nature and nurturing a future generation of passionate learners and environmental stewards.

Nestled in the heart of Napa, our cherished 13-acre historic property, paired with our passionate educators, Connolly Ranch serves as a sanctuary where children can embark on an early childhood journey of discovery amidst the splendor of our outdoor classrooms - farm, edible and pollinator gardens and WildSpaces. Through immersive, discovery-based education, we instill the values of nature-based learning, ensuring that every moment —be it communing with our animals, tending to our bountiful edible garden, or venturing into our enchanting WildSpaces—becomes a soulful encounter with the natural world.

Every lesson and activity has a heartbeat – a reminder that education is not just about imparting knowledge but nurturing the soul and cultivating a lifelong love affair with learning and with life itself. Learn more about our education approach & philosophy.
