About Us
Experience-based Learning
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-Trained Teachers
Waldorf pedagogy in early childhood 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.
Self-Directed Play
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.
