All new Programs for 2026 starting September 14th, 2026

 

🌱 Sprouts (Preschool 3.5-5years)

Monday and Wednesdays 9:00-12:00

Play • Wonder • Discovery

 Forest Sprouts is our nature-based preschool program designed for young children to learn through play, curiosity, and meaningful experiences outdoors and indoors. Children are invited to explore the forest, engage their senses, and build relationships through hands-on activities, stories, art, and imaginative play. Guided by the rhythms of nature, learning unfolds organically as children ask questions, make discoveries, and develop confidence in a nurturing, faith-filled environment. Our focus is on wonder rather than worksheets—allowing children to take root through joyful exploration and connection with the natural world.

🌿 Seedlings (K–2)

Monday 12:30-3:00pm

​

Exploration • Early Skills • Confidence

Woodland Seedlings is a nature-based program for kindergarten through second grade, designed for children who are growing in independence while still learning best through hands-on exploration. Through forest walks, nature study, storytelling, games, and creative projects, children build early academic skills in reading, and writing in a gentle, developmentally appropriate way. Writing is introduced naturally through labeling, drawing, shared journaling, and simple reflections, allowing confidence to grow without pressure. Rooted in curiosity and connection to the natural world, Woodland Seedlings supports young learners as they strengthen foundational skills while maintaining a love of learning.

🌲 Foresters (2nd–4th)

Tuesday 9:00-11:30

Observation • Journaling • Stewardship

Woodland Foresters is our advanced nature-based program for second through fourth grade students who are ready for deeper inquiry and more independent learning. Children engage in extended forest exploration, nature study, and meaningful discussions, using observation and nature journaling as primary tools for learning. Writing plays a larger role in this program as students record discoveries, sketch and label findings, write reflections, and develop scientific and narrative thinking through their journals. Grounded in stewardship and respect for God’s creation, Woodland Foresters encourages curiosity, responsibility, and confidence as children grow into thoughtful observers and caretakers of the natural world.
