A Nature-Focused Learning Experience for Children Aged 2.5-5

At Earth Trek Forest School, we believe that every child is a curious explorer, born with an innate connection to the natural world. Our unique forest school program is designed for children aged 2.5 to 5, offering an enriching, play-based learning experience that fosters creativity, curiosity, and a deep connection to nature.

Why Choose Us?

• Nature-Based Curriculum: We provide a hands-on, immersive learning environment where children explore the changing seasons, observe life cycles, and discover the wonders of the natural world.

• Child-Led Learning: Our approach encourages self-directed exploration and inquiry. Children take the lead in their learning, supported by caring educators who facilitate and extend their natural interests.

• Creative Expression: Through storytelling, imaginative play, and artistic activities, children engage with nature in a way that sparks creativity and supports emotional growth.

• Mixed-Age Learning: Our mixed-age environment allows children to learn from one another, building collaboration, leadership, and empathy as they work together across age groups.

• Low Student-to-Teacher Ratio: We maintain a low teacher-to-child ratio to ensure individualized attention and meaningful connections with each child.

A Day at Forest School:

Our daily program includes a balance of structured activities and open-ended exploration. Children engage in:

• Hands-on Science: From studying the life cycles of plants and animals to investigating the properties of natural materials, our program fosters curiosity and scientific thinking.

• Imaginative Play: Nature is the perfect setting for children to weave stories, build worlds, and role-play in ways that nurture their creativity and problem-solving skills.

• Outdoor Adventures: Whether it's building shelters, collecting natural treasures, or simply observing the wonders of the forest, every day brings new opportunities for discovery.

Our Philosophy

We believe that when children have the space and time to explore freely in nature, they develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Our goal is to nurture their curiosity, foster environmental awareness, and support emotional growth—all while providing a sense of belonging to the natural world.
