Forest School
"Nature Pedagogy is an understanding of our sense of belonging to land, our sense of working with nature. There is a pedagogical shift when you move outside into nature... it's learning with nature, not just teaching about it." Claire Warden
Growing Confident Learners, One Step at a Time
Our Kindergarten program encourages children to explore their interests, build confidence and gain the skills they need to thrive in school and life.
Through engaging activities and thoughtful guidance, we support your child’s very personal learning journey, nurturing their independence and sense of belonging.
Forest School helps children become part of an effective and efficient team and to participate in a range of creative, sensory and environmental awareness activities.
Studies show that children are becoming less connected to nature and the outdoors. The same studies demonstrate that contact with nature and the external environment show that children benefit from regular interaction with the environment and form a lasting connection and care for their community (Rosenow 2008).
We believe a Forest School program pushes the boundaries of traditional education and care. Building a strong connection to the natural world a Forest School program can be the conduit to make inroads into the formation of resilient, confident children; enhancing not only their early learning experiences but positively influencing their holistic wellbeing, health, growth and development.
