Fulton Community School & Farm

No way. The hundred is there.
The child
is made of one hundred.
The child has
a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing, of speaking.
A hundred always a hundred
ways of listening
of marveling, of loving
a hundred joys
for singing and understanding
a hundred worlds
to discover
a hundred worlds
to invent
a hundred worlds
to dream.
The child has
a hundred languages
(and a hundred hundred hundred more)
but they steal ninety-nine.
The school and the culture
separate the head from the body.
They tell the child:
to think without hands
to do without head
to listen and not to speak
to understand without joy
to love and to marvel
only at Easter and at Christmas.
They tell the child:
to discover the world already there
and of the hundred
they steal ninety-nine.
They tell the child:
that work and play
reality and fantasy
science and imagination
sky and earth
reason and dream
are things
that do not belong together.
And thus they tell the child
that the hundred is not there.
The child says:
No way. The hundred is there.

Fulton Community School & Farm truly embodies the concept of community.
In October 2017 Mark West Community Preschool was lost in the Tubbs fire. Through the devastation we were compelled to continue and restore that special place for the children. Over 2 years later the passion continues. Although we could not rebuild at our original location, the community came together, and a solution was found;
Fulton Community School & Farm.
Fulton Community School & Farm the first preschool of its kind in Sonoma County. From its inception the model brought together private industry, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, local government and community members at large. All have made financial contributions and provided community support and visibility that made this school possible. To create truly supportive high-quality early childhood education programs this model is the path to the future in our community.
Please come and see what a community can do for our children when we really care.
