Cocoplum Nature School

Delray Beach, FL
|
www.cocoplumnatureschool.org

    • Mission

    Our vision is to cultivate liberated learners who can collectively create a more just and healthy planet for everyone through early childhood, elementary school and related programs that are built on the pillars of nature-based, place-based, and play-based learning. Everything that is taught in traditional schools with textbooks and rote practice can be learned by children outdoors with natural materials through play, exploration, and inquiry. In fact, for most of humanity, children have joyfully learned all they needed to know and do through play groups, the natural world, markets, gardens and farms, and other settings not bound by four walls.

    About Us

    Cocoplum Nature School was founded in 2020 by two Delray Beach mothers, educators, and environmental stewards, Dr. Fernanda Wolfson and Dr. Melanie Stefanovic. Their friendship began at the children's library and local community gardens when their first children were babies. Friendship blossomed into co-founding the evidence-based school they each dreamed of for their own children. Cocoplum is the only nature-based, play-inspired, child-centric private school of its kind in Palm Beach County that serves K-3rd grade students. In addition to our untraditional elementary school, we offer caregiver-and-me early childhood programs, aftercare and camps, caregiver education and support, and community events.
