Historical Setting
All that surrounds the young child is of paramount importance. In a wondrous way, children are open to their environment. Children learn best by doing, and play is the serious work of childhood.

A​t 155 years young, the Kentucky Flat Schoolhouse may be the oldest continuously used one-room schoolhouse in California. The building with its iconic high porch and roof-top bell tower, at the corner of Newtown and Kentucky Flat roads west of Grass Valley, operated as a school for 108 years, until 1963, according to historical records.
