Hyper-controlled and mostly-indoor childhoods are creating physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially unhealthy humans. We evolved outside, learning through playing, following our interests, in mixed-age groups. We still biologically expect those conditions. Forest kindergartens and preschools, long popular in Europe, are gaining popularity in the United States as a reaction to the failed system of raising children in captivity.
Growing Wild Forest School is an all-outdoor nature connection preschool for kids ages 3-6 located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. We take kids to the woods in all weather, every day. Kids can climb trees, build with big pieces of wood, use tools, tend fires, plant gardens, forage for tasty snacks, make mud pies, etc. Every day includes plenty of truly free play.
As a nonprofit, every little bit of attention and support helps us to bring nature connection to more young children.
Happy to post links to science if there is interest!
