The Indoor Yard and Bake Sale, held on April 19 at Bam Bouncers in Woodstock, drew a strong turnout and generated meaningful support for The Learning Hive, an independent education center and emerging private school in Woodstock. It featured a wide selection of second hand goods and a student led bake sale, with proceeds directed toward improvements to the school’s outdoor play space. The indoor setting ensured a comfortable experience for attendees of all ages, contributing to steady traffic and positive engagement from the moment doors opened. Central to the event’s purpose was a bake sale operated by a student from The Learning Hive Academy. It supported the school’s ongoing efforts to expand and enhance its outdoor learning environment, designed to provide students with more space, better equipment, and increased opportunities for active and outdoor play. The Learning Hive serves students from preschool through high school through a combination of full time academy programs, tutoring, homeschool enrichment and camps. Its educational philosophy emphasizes evidence based instruction, strong relationships, and a gentle, supportive approach that meets children where they are while maintaining high academic expectations. The outdoor play space project aligns with the school’s commitment to balanced learning, physical development, and confidence building.
