Forest Transitional Kindergarten (T/K)

Class explanation: 

Our Transitional Kindergarten program will allow children to explore the natural world and develop socialization in sensory-rich ways that engage their curiosity and allow them to experiment. Studies show the importance of play and nature experiences as foundational to cognitive development and later academic performance. Children will run, explore, play with mud, build forts, discover forest creatures, learn about plants, experience the seasons, make up games together, sing songs, create art, listen to stories, develop emotional vocabulary, memorize Scripture, and learn how to become more like Jesus. Supportive teachers will draw lessons from nature through hands-on experiences that connect knowledge with discovery, promote a love for learning, and cultivate wonder for God’s creation.

Who this program is for:

Families who want their children learning outside, disconnected from screens, and interacting with nature and other children in a healthy environment. This program appeals to families who value physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health and development in addition to academic outcomes.
