Join us for a 90-minute adventure designed for children ages 18 months to 3.5 years and their caregivers. Move at your child’s pace as you explore the forest, visit favorite play spots, and dive into hands-on, messy, and exciting nature play each week.
Family Forest School is more than just outdoor fun—it’s a chance to build a caring community rooted in our Forest School philosophy and anti-bias principles. Together, families, children, and staff create a safe space where everyone feels welcome and connected through a shared love of nature.
As you explore the forest side by side, you’ll bond through simple joys—spotting colorful flowers, smelling fresh rain, listening to birdsong, crunching snow underfoot, and sharing snacks in the peaceful woods. It’s about being present, playing together, and building lasting memories in nature.
“Ms. Amanda is a masterful educator, who weaves best practices in early childhood education (fine and gross motor, literacy, math/science) into a nature and play-based curriculum. Finally, she speaks and listens to students (and parents!) with such respect and caring, modeling how to cooperate, resolve conflicts, and express feelings. These skills will be so important for my daughter as she moves into kindergarten next year. I truly could not imagine a more wonderful preschool experience for our daughter. I highly recommend Forest School!!!”
