NATURE CLASSES
At All Friends, children will develop confidence, independence, emotional intelligence and regulation. Children will be provided with ample time and space to explore and dive deeper into learning. They will become lifelong learners and stewards of the natural world. We will provide a curriculum rich with nature, Waldorf principles and forest school pedagogy. At All Friends we are focused on the whole child. Head, Heart and Hands.

“Nature preschools benefit young children through the priority they place on time spent in the natural world. They provide the time, tools, and materials that children need to explore natural spaces, allowing the curriculum to emerge through the constantly changing natural world and the varied interests it fosters in children.”
— Bruner, Goldberg, & Kot, 1999
