A PERFECT MATCH FOR HOMESCHOOLED CHILDREN
For Home Schooling Parents who want to assure that their children receive outdoor play and exploration, a nature science curriculum, an opportunity for guided social emotional development, an opening to become part of a close-knit community of children whose parents value the outdoors and nature.
Our class group is small, and our teachers are experienced in nature exploration as well as early childhood academic learning.
Social Emotional Development for HomeSchoolers: An experienced early childhood teacher leads children to in the art of being a team. Through her facilitation, they design team projects, set team boundaries, resolve team issues, and manage conflict within the team. A small and intimate group led by an experienced teacher assures that children’s individual social-emotional needs are met in
Nature Science for HomeSchoolers: Children explore the world of nature through projects which encourage them to observe, wonder, hypothesize, plan an inquiry project, collect information, document through writing or art or crafts, draw conclusions, make recommendations, and report on what they see.
Environmental Responsibility for HomeSchoolers: The first step to being good stewards of our planet as adults, is feeling one’s relationship with nature. As young children they are given the opportunity to develop kinship feelings toward the natural environment. These feelings and attitudes stay with them over a lifetime and contribute to their efforts and attitudes as adults.
Outdoor Play and Exploration for HomeSchoolers: Our Forest Kindergarten Homeschool program offers children the opportunity to explore, play, and even rest in the forest. There is plenty of space to run, jump and climb. And also opportunities to listen to stories, and sit quietly and contemplate.
Please note: This program is for children ages 4 to 6 who are toilet trained and ready to comfortably spend a few hours away from their parents..
