Garden Patch Play School has been rooted in Newhall for years as a place where children learn outside, move at their own pace, ask questions without apology, and come home suntanned, muddy, and full of stories. Our preschool kids are growing up, and we’re growing with them.

​

Patch Big School (TK through 6th grade) is the next chapter. An elementary school where curiosity doesn’t get squeezed out at kindergarten. Where learning still happens in the garden, under the oak tree, in the construction corner. Schools like this do not exist. Children need it, and families need it.

​

The Garden Grows Gala on Friday, September 18th, 2026 is how we get there.

We’re asking you to be part of it, not just as a donor, but as a founding community member of something that will outlast the evening.

​

This is not a quiet dinner. This is the most engaged, community-rooted audience in the Santa Clarita Valley, gathered in one place, for one night. Nature-based, play-based education is one of the fastest-growing movements in K-12, and the families choosing it choose their businesses the same deliberate way.

​

Be a part of something bigger and be a foundational part of the only play-based school in SCV.

Your name on the banner. Your logo in the program. Your table in that room. That is not a donation. That is a presence.
