Forest Preschool
Ages 3-5 years old
2.5 hour class- Available Fall, Winter & Spring
Our Forest Preschool is a great way to offer your 3-5 year old child an opportunity to learn in the forest all year long. We believe nature is the best teacher and landscapes tell endless stories.
Each day we offer unstructured play as an important time for children to socialize, express ideas, problem solve, explore and connect to nature. We take a wellness moment for children to reflect and observe their surroundings. Long periods of exploration and discovery are offered along with a daily activity.
Forest Preschool is an 11 week series available Fall, Winter, and Spring. We are exclusively outdoors and put up our own shelters when it is raining, snowing or windy. We recommend signing up for all three seasons to get the most benefit out of the program. Classes are limited to 10 students.
