Our Approach to Education...
“Play is the highest form of research.” - Albert Einstein
Curious and Kind Nature Play merges Forest School principles with Montessori and Reggio inspired approaches to make a unique offering for each child that is grounded in:
- Play-based learning
- Emergent curriculum
- Inquiry-based learning
- Kindness towards self, others and nature
- Listening and observation of the child
- Place based education
- Environmental stewardship
- Resilience based: immersion in a variety of weather
- Exploration of the natural world and local habitats
"There are intentional coaching moves we take to support emerging literacy including enjoying plentiful read alouds, dialoguing,
using high level vocabulary, engaging children in storytelling and retelling, playing with words and mark marking (early writing) which are done in this forest setting."
