  • “The child with a positive ecological identity has a sense of belonging in knowing that he or she is a part of nature versus separate from it, a sense of wonder in being in touch with what is beautiful and awe-inspiring in the natural world, and a sense of security (or healing) found ‘in the repeated refrains of nature- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter’ (Carson, 1965).”

  • Are you making a commitment to attend all the program dates?*
  • Once children turn 2 1/2 and are potty trained, they are no longer eligible for our Parent Tot Forest Play Group, and will need to enroll in our Forest Kindergarten program, as space allows.

    We give preference to families wishing to enroll in our Parent Tot Forest Play Group who have the intention of enrolling in our Forest K program when their child comes of age.

    Is this your intention?

  • We ask our families for the following commitments:

    • Support of the school and a positive attitude towards nature & weather

    • Committed to staying an entire school year, and possibly into the future

    • Setting your child up for success with specific, recommended clothing choices

    • Trusting that your child will be OK, accepting that children need to learn how to take appropriate risks and do things for themselves

    • Not letting your fears get in the way of your child’s time in nature—ex: can’t call in sick every time it rains.

    • Strong commitment to participating in family events, such as our fall lantern walk & picnic, spring celebration, & annual work days. See our school year calendar here.
  • As a family, are you willing/able to make these commitments?*
  • I am committed to participating for the entire 2026-2027 school year with my child(ren), in the Parent Tot Forest Play Group.
