Two children wondering in a forest in the fall

Spring Forest Fridays

Our Forest Fridays drop-off preschool program runs seasonally and offers a gentle entry point for families curious about nature-based early childhood education. This 10–week spring session meets weekly on Fridays, 8:30–12:00pm beneath the trees. Together, we follow children's curiosity down winding trails and let the forest unfold as our classroom.

Through play and exploration, children grow in head, heart, and body — thinking deeply, connecting intentionally, and moving freely.

We build forts from fallen branches and logs, make art from nature’s treasures, sing and dance under the canopy, tell stories shaped by wind and wonder, and splash in the creek when the water calls. We hold space and time for teamwork, leadership, and imagination to flourish. 

Each Friday is an invitation: to explore, to create, to belong — and to grow wild and free together.
