- Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. William Butler Yeats
When your students start paying more attention to what's going on outside than to your lessons,
we have the field trip destination just for you! Let us help you light that fire within your students.
Your kids will be surprised at everything they learn at Slice of Heaven Educational Farm. We want to excite children's minds and hearts through our customized educational plans. Our goal is to incorporate many different aspects of learning: exploration, discovery, problem-solving, conservation awareness and so much more. Our hands-on learning environment incorporates all aspects of STEM to truly take education to the outdoors. We activate children's minds by asking them how and why questions and creating problems for them to solve in order to help develop their critical thinking skills. We tailor our programs based on what you are teaching in the classroom to reinforce your instruction. We can accommodate students from preschool through high school with a program that will excite them and ignite their imaginations and minds.
"Very explicit guide and engaging to our students. Met our expectations+.”
