Glad Midsommar! Happy Solstice!

Learning to move through ambiguity during COVID as a pretty new small business has been uncomfortable. BUT I feel grateful for the time to sit in that discomfort. For time to parse out what brings me joy and what robs me of it. Grateful for the oppor

Check out our latest YouTube video for learning the simple practice of sit spotting! It’s a wonderful exercise that ties in mindfulness and the ever-important art of observation. Channel Link in bio.

Mamas—the people that we want to lean into, literally and figuratively, in celebration, sorrow, and all of the in betweens. Happy Mother’s Day to all of our amazing mamas! We love you and look forward to our chats at the Foxtail gates aga

We are missing our littles so much right now. Until we get to see them again, these kids will have to do 😍!

Skiing with some of our foxes and their families for our first Family Downhill Day was THE BEST! I honestly didn’t know that skiing could be any more enjoyable—and then I skied with these little friends. Thank you @mt_life_photography for

Sunny days call for grand sailing adventures! Thank goodness for play—this is where they best learn to assert independence, have opinions but also compromise with their friends, and move in and out of characters that help them to empathize. Giv

Getting all of our snowshoeing and tracking in while we can!! They have worked really hard to be able to get their snowshoes and skis on this winter and we are really proud of their willingness to keep at it!

Hey, let’s not be run by fear! So many things to be fearful of as a parent, and sometimes very little support. Thankful for our Foxtail families, their trust in themselves, in us, and their courage to try a different path for their kids! 🙌🏼 ?

Join Foxtail Förskola this Saturday for our annual Family Sled Day at Riverside Park (behind the tennis courts in Whitefish) from 10:30am-12:30pm. Bring your sleds and reusable cups for cocoa. This event is open to the public—the more the

Check out the latest post from our friends and Flathead do-gooders, @dirtrichcompost. I wasn’t aware that our tax dollars are being used for management of more land to expand our landfill. A great reminder to educate myself and create change wh

We broke in our new cross country skis yesterday morning with the sheep and the glorious sunshine! We balanced our moods with every glide, fall, and deep breath taken. #learningoutdoors #foxtailförskola #graciousliving #outdoorpreschool #forestp

A snowy literacy skills practice—writing and sounding out our names in the snow. It’s exciting to watch the lightbulbs come on when our foxes start participating in sounding out letters with us and realizing that all of those letters and

It was so fitting to find all of these dreamy, snow covered, “homes” after just reading David Sobels book, “Children’s Special Places”. “If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered, let us allow them

Some test the limits of their physical competence. Others test the the mettle of their stories and their cooperative potential. All are growing.

We try as educators to look around us and ask ourselves how we might create beauty and order through our materials, or how we can “educate the senses” as Montessori admonished, but much of our time is spent reinforcing the notion that ima

When it snows and the cold bears down, pick up a digger, take your positions on the ship, and gather all the gemstones before the Queens’s henchmen approach our vessel!!!!!! Ahhhhh!!!! #foxtailförskola

There’s much we learn from snow. The textures, it’s patterns, it’s raw potential to be formed and shaped, even the terroir of its taste 😂

But snow, and sleds, building fires and castles, tromping through the woods, and all the res

Our little friends fully show up—their brains are wired to do so right now. While the adult brain is more akin to a lamp light, children’s are like a spotlight. They come to school ready to be fully engaged in play, learning, and their re
