Welcome to Little Forest School

Growing together, outside

We believe that connecting fully with nature will inspire children to become environmental stewards of the future. We believe in creating opportunities for children to experience fun, freedom, love and belonging and meaningful routines that feel like a family. Our school community is built of love, care and support!

“Nature is a tool to get children to experience not just the wider world, but themselves.” – Stephen Moss.

Little Forest School was the top choice!

Little Forest preschool was the top choice for our outdoorsy, nature loving family. Every day when I pick up my daughter I fall more in love with the school, the children, the parents, along with the community of kindness, tolerance, and acceptance it fosters. I’ve picked apart multiple preschools my oldest has attended and truly have nothing I’d change about LFS – I only wish it had been around for my son. This school is the epitome of what childhood should be and a rock solid foundation for life.

We love Little Forest Preschool!

Little Forest is such a great fit for my adventurous son. The children are approached with empathy, respect, and kindness, and they see a love of nature and an attitude of mindfulness modeled for them every day. I love that the children have so much time to just play, use their imaginations, interact with each other, explore, and problem solve, but they also have intentional exposure to structured learning activities. As a teacher myself, I so appreciate that these young students’ first encounters with academic instruction are fun, engaging, tactile, and relaxed, and that there is such an emphasis on social-emotional learning. Along with numbers, letters, music, and art, my son is learning so much about how to be a friend, resolve conflict, and manage his emotions. We love Little Forest Preschool!

The perfect environment for learning.

Little Forest Preschool has been a great start to help our son in school. Each day he recounts his adventures collecting worms, identifying plants, nature hikes, and always playing. We will send our little girls when they are old enough. Ms Deb’s compassion for each child and passion for education create the perfect environment for learning.
