Children thrive in the outdoors — their play is free from a reliance on toys, and their imaginations take flight. Their bodies are free to explore, climb, jump, and run, and there is no need for “indoor voices.” Forest kindergarten offers children a chance to see, touch, and smell the natural world, and to learn social skills, like cooperation, in an open environment. Playing in nature also fosters a child’s sense of wonder, which piques their curiosity, and cultivates further exploration and learning in the real world through careful observation.
Waldorf pedagogy fosters self-directed play, a sense of wonder and curiosity, and sees the teacher as a model for the children to imitate in developing healthy habits and compassionate ways of engaging with each other and their surroundings. Combined with training and experience in outdoor education, we offer your child a program rich in exploration and discovery.
Play which is initiated by children is considered self-directed. This type of play engages the imagination, builds skills in communication and self-regulation, and helps children learn how to problem-solve.
