Forest Preschool
An authentic Forest School approach based on the German model of Waldkindergartens.
Our Forest School provides an outdoor educational experience for children ages 3-6. Here at Woodland Discovery, children are encouraged to play, explore, and learn in a forest environment, no matter the weather, with adult supervision that is meant to assist rather than lead.

NEW for 2024-2025 - An additional preschool class is being offered on Monday afternoons and Thursday afternoons from 12:30pm-3:30pm. If you have older kids in our afternoon classes, and would like to send your younger children at the same time, this would be a great option to consider.
Whether your preschooler is in another part-week preschool program or home full time, give your child the gift of exploring the outdoors and experiencing the changing seasons first-hand.
