Our Programs
Reading Buddies:
A Horse Powered Reading® Program
Moonlit Pines' Reading Buddies program is the ultimate opportunity for experiential learning on the farm!
​
Horse Powered Reading® integrates social-emotional learning with academics; allowing students to see and experience reading with their entire mind, body, and emotions through metaphors for the skills involved in reading.
​
Students interact with horses from the ground, using various props to identify obstacles while learning five critical reading skills- phonemic awareness, coding, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.
Session goals vary depending upon the needs of the individual or group. HPR® focuses on the learning process for the individual and builds upon children's natural curiosity and determination. During sessions, students are allowed to make discoveries and experiment with knowledge firsthand.
​
This program can benefit ALL types of learners- from people with learning disabilities, struggling learners, gifted learners, etc.- it is all inclusive!
If you know a learner who can benefit from hands on, engaging, and interactive learning- schedule a session below!

Farm School
Farm school is a great place for kids ages Pre-K- 2nd grade to spend time at the farm learning about the animals and engaging in play! Children learn best in a hands-on learning environment, which a farm is full of! Emotional response is activated in the brain, which allows the learning to be lifelong.
​
Farm school meets weekly for 2.5 hours per session.
Upcoming sessions:
Summer 2023 (July/August only)
Fall 2023 (September-December)
