Welcome!
For children ages 3-5, this is a shortened version of our Forest Kindergarten program. We begin each Tuesday morning together with a song and greeting before the forest walk into our forest site. Once there we have our morning circle which may include a story, song and finger play. After snack it's time to adventure! Child-led free play may look like: drilling holes to "tap into" our maple trees, checking and emptying sap buckets, working in the mud kitchen, feeding chickadees, helping light the fire, connecting with the land through magic sit spots and developing gross motor and social skills in an outdoor play environment.

9:30am-12pm each Tuesday.
Cost: $390 (for 13 sessions)

For children born in 2016-2017, we learn through play! Morning circle, finding letters in nature, feeding chickadees, tapping maple trees, collecting sap, seeing how maple sap is boiled down into syrup, eating together and developing gross motor and social skills in an outdoor play environment. We learn to stretch our creative muscles by becoming comfortable using found natural materials as loose parts, no need for plastic toys!
But best of all, children learn their own personal risk-taking boundaries and become capable and confident in their abilities!

For children ages 3.9-7 years old (Mondays) and 6-12 year olds (grades 1-6), Forest Explorers dig deeper into inquiry-based, self-directed learning! We spend our days with our dedicated Forest & Nature School Practitioners (in-training), learning through play and inquiry-based exploration of the natural world. We learn about others and ourselves and how to work together to understand our differences while developing a connection with the natural world around us.
