Why Forest School?
🌲 Regulation & co-regulation
Experience how time in nature can calm the nervous system and support both you and your child through big feelings.
🍂 Healthy risky play
Discover how climbing, balancing, exploring and age-appropriate risk help build confidence, body awareness and decision-making skills.
💪 Resilience & independence
Give your child opportunities to try, problem-solve, make mistakes and discover, “I can do this!”
🤎 Connection
Slow down, follow your child’s lead and create space to reconnect with your child, yourself and the natural world.
👣 Social-emotional development
Practice communicating needs, navigating challenges, sharing space and developing empathy alongside other children.
🌿 Curiosity & child-led learning
Discover how much learning naturally happens when children have the time and freedom to explore.
🌎 Connection to place
Notice the changing seasons, plants, animals and rhythms of the land together.
👩👧👦 Community
Build meaningful relationships with the same group of local parents and little ones each Wednesday.
Cost: $200 per family for all 8 weeks ($25/session)
Includes one caregiver + up to two children. Additional siblings are $5/session.
Registration is for the full 8-week program rather than individual drop-ins so we can build a consistent, connected community together.
To register: [email protected]
Financial aid available upon request.
Come dressed for the weather and leave each week feeling a little more grounded, regulated and connected — with your child, yourself and nature. 🌲🤎
