Single Subject Offerings
Due to licensing requirements, our program is structured as single-subject offerings for children ages 2 1/2 to 6. Please see above for the class sessions we are offering for the 2023-2024 school year. In keeping with the pedagogy of approaches such as Reggio Emilia and democratic free schools, we value the voice of the child and will always incorporate their brilliant and naturally emerging curiosities into all class curriculum. When offered rich provocations, children naturally lean into the questions we are all asking, and in this way we build upon concepts, allowing learning to emerge. Curiosity is the guide, and we believe nature is the best teacher.
Community Events
An important aspect of our program are the monthly community events which bring us together through the various seasons of the year. We ask that our forest families make every effort to come to each community event, so we may give a message to our children about the importance of slowing down and spending time together, in community, in nature.
