Letting Curiosity Drive Learning
Forest Kids Nature School is a place where young children can explore and connect with the natural world around them. Our exclusively outdoor preschool program provides a nurturing environment for children to learn and grow at their own pace. The Forest Kids curriculum is broadly inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to education, where children's interests and curiosities will set the direction of our studies with long and in-depth projects. We are grounded in the idea that children learn best through hands-on exploration and play, and we aren't afraid to get messy! We will meet rain or shine, and believe if children are dressed in appropriate gear there is so much to be learned from the "bad" weather days (as long as it is safe to do so). Every child deserves the opportunity to develop a deep appreciation for the natural environment and foster a lifelong love of the outdoors.
