We offer Forest Kindergarten for children ages 4 & 5 in grades Pre-K & Kindergarten. In Forest Kindergarten children learn about life and God by exploring His book of nature. Along with hands-on language and math activities in the classroom, students will be able to spend time outdoors developing their imagination, creativity, motor skills such as balance and hand-eye coordination, physical strength and focus. Unstructured exploration outdoors also encourages problem-solving and development of social skills. Spending time outdoors leads children to form questions about the world around them, sparks their curiosity, and leads to a lifetime of learning. Most importantly, studying creation grows our love and appreciation for our wonderful Creator and His design for our lives. Sign up while there is still room!
Here is an article in the Dalton Daily Citizen regarding our Forest Kindergarten program.
