FOREST PRESCHOOL |
Children 3.5 to 5 years of age have the opportunity to spend the morning or afternoon exploring the forest, developing their confidence, and laying the foundation for a lifelong appreciation of nature. As a Forest Preschool model program (sometimes known as a Forest Kindergarten), we spend 95-100% of our days outdoors, enjoying the seasons no matter the weather!

"This program has been absolutely amazing for our daughter! What initially drew us to the program was our desire to find a safe, outdoor preschool option where COVID precautions would be taken very seriously. We found that- and so much more. Our daughter has developed incredible friendships, a passion for the outdoors, and increased confidence to take on new challenges." |
