About the Program: 
We are a 100% Outdoor Classroom. Our Forest School philosophy is rooted in the Waldkindergartens from Germany, Denmark and all over Europe. We share the same world view as pioneers like Dewey, Fröbel, Montessori, Steiner and Malaguzzi did. All realized the importance of the child's relationship with nature. We practice experience comes before facts. The children's learning is based on their interests and their play. The Forest School Teachers are respectfully facilitating and observing the children's play and build a curriculum around those interests. They bring in materials to deepen the experiences or introduce certain crafts or subject matters. This way children internalize their learning as their play was the seed to begin with.
