In collaboration with our sister site, Sandy Loam, Rainbow Bridge children get a glimpse of farm life and learn about sustainable food production through unique field trip program at city-owned Veronda-Falletti Farm, located across the street from the Cotati City Administrative Offices. Our work includes gardening, caring for ranch animals, and any other age-appropriate responsibilities as required by the farm itself. Subsequently, our work at the farm serves as the basis for further academic exploration at school. We are SO incredibly proud to be a part of this wonderful community space.

Primary 2nd and 3rd year students who are developmentally ready to participate in off-site research take walking field trips to explore local ecological sites of importance. So many of these sites are within minutes of our school, hiding in plain sight! For example, a group of children may visit local vernal pools to learn about the unique species that live only there, or take part in photo-documentation project of a specific stretch of Cotati’s own Laguna de Santa Rosa.
