I think that the preschool years are short and special. Instead of a program with intense structure, an academic focus and hours spent inside, I feel preschool age children need freedom to explore and time outside. The more I read about Forest Schools, the more necessary they seem. I hope to start this program small and grow into a larger school in the future.
