All programs are developed with the three Rs of environmental education in mind: Respect for nature through learning; Reverence for all life and everyone’s role in the natural world and the Responsibility we all share to take care of the natural world for future generations. Now, children who visit the schoolhouse will learn through their senses–they see, touch, smell, hear, taste and remember.

Originally known as Riverside School #2 in the Kirtland Township School District, the schoolhouse opened its doors to students in 1894. Nearly a century later, in 1988, the Anthony S. Ocepek family donated the facility to Lake Metroparks.

The Children’s Schoolhouse Nature Park staff offers a variety of programs to small groups of 30 or fewer by reservation only.
