HALF-DAY FOREST PRESCHOOL

This 3 hour program is designed to foster the child's lifelong connection to the natural world and themselves.  We strongly believe that free-play is essential for a child's healthy development.  We promote independence, confidence, resiliency and self-awareness by climbing snowbanks, reading stories, scrambling hills, looking for bugs and letting the children decide where to engage in free-play.

Ages: 3-5

25/26 Session: Fall 2025 (15-weeks) / Winter 2026 (10-weeks) / Spring 2026 (10-weeks)

FULL-DAY FOREST SCHOOL (wednesday OR friday)

Children will spend their day learning and playing in the forest, meadow, creeks or snow hills.  Designed to foster a deeper connection to nature, children will be given ample opportunities to lead their learning through an inquiry play-based approach.  Children's questions and ideas guide their learning and help shape the focus at Forest School.  While there is still a strong focus on free-play, there are opportunities to explore their creative or artistic side through natural materials and loose parts.  Children will explore the sounds of nature through silent sit-spots.

Ages: 5-7

25/26 Full-Day Session: Fall 2025 (12-weeks) / Winter 2026 (10-weeks) / Spring 2026 (10-weeks)

* The full-day program is suitable for those who are home-schooled or those who wish to combine Forest School programming with the traditional school environment.
