what kids do
Throughout their time at Wildwood, students may explore ecosystems, nature, science, history, and creative projects in small-groups in our calming environment.

Children care for terrariums, observe living systems, and learn how plants, animals, and habitats interact.
Hands-On Science
Curiosity-driven experiments and projects bring science concepts to life.
Gardening & Nature Study
Seed starting, hydroponics, and seasonal nature observation.
Creative Observation
Students record discoveries through drawing, journaling, and storytelling.
Hands-On History
Projects inspired by traditional skills and historical life.
Handicrafts & Creative Making
Children learn the quiet satisfaction of making things by hand—simple sewing, weaving, natural crafts, and other traditional skills.
meet the founder
Sarah Nuss
Wildwood Curiosity Studio was created by Sarah Nuss, an educator and lifelong lover of nature, creativity, and hands-on learning.
For many years Sarah worked closely with homeschool families and children who learn best through curiosity, exploration, and real-world experiences. She believes that children thrive when they are given time to observe the natural world, create with their hands, and follow their curiosity.
Wildwood was created as a calm studio environment where curious learners can explore science, ecosystems, handicrafts, and creative projects in small mixed-age groups.
