This class is taught in English.
Students will learn to share experiences, exchange ideas and stories, and take turns with kindness as they practice their communication and cooperation skills. They will learn self-awareness, improved balance and coordination, and continue to develop fine and gross motor skills. Students will practice the valuable skills of imaginative play, asking questions, decision making, and problem-solving. Students will grow in their appreciation and connection to the natural world, learning to observe and respect the things around them.
I received my certification as a Master Forest Kindergarten Teacher from The Wauhatchie School/Forest School Teacher Institute, and have taught in the fields of Forest Kindergarten, nature schools, and outdoor education for over 20 years.

I believe that every child can and should be able to experience the wholistic benefits of the Forest Kindergarten philosophy, regardless of their access to a traditional Forest-K program... and I hope this class will allow us to bring the wonder and joy of nature to your child, wherever you may be, and however you are able to bring them outdoors.
