Secret Forest Playschool is a nature preschool that believes in building a community, with children and their families, that instills a lifelong love for play, a strong sense of belonging and a growing relationship with the natural world.
- Being a part of the Secret Forest Playschool gives children and their families the opportunity to share experiences, both their struggles and successes. Having the ability to relate to others builds valuable, lasting relationships and a strong community.
- Play is prioritized at Secret Forest. Play is an activity that is freely chosen and is something you participate in because you find enjoyment in it. Play brings balance, health and happiness to our lives.
- Understanding yourself helps you relate to those around you. At Secret Forest children will deepen their empathy, learn self-regulation skills, develop their identity, and begin to honor and respect all that our Earth has to offer.
- Spending a significant amount of time playing and learning within The Secret Forest will give children a sense of belonging. When it is time for them to go beyond the Forest they will feel simultaneously rooted yet ready to expand their reach.
