Welcome. We are a Forest Preschool, operating all outdoors, based in Washington Park, Portland, Oregon. We believe in the benefits of a tight community so we stay small. Our program encourages nature connection and healthy risk assessment. We teach social-emotional skills and conflict resolution. We document our play-based, emergent curriculum so we can learn from each other. Our vision is to nurture a nature-aware school community with lots of space for exploration and belonging.
What is a Forest School?
A forest school is a long-term education program that supports exploration, play, and hands-on learning in an outdoor setting.
Join us for a Field Day to visit the meadow and meet the teachers. Upcoming Field Day is Thursday, May 16th.
