Forest School helps children to become healthy, resilient, creative and independent learners. It creates a safe, non-judgmental nurturing environment. Forest School inspires a deep and meaningful connection to the world. It develops confidence and self-esteem through learner inspired, hands-on experiences in a natural environment.

Sensory play has an important role in development. Our senses are sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste. Any and all of these can be incorporated into sensory play. Sensory play supports language, fine and gross motor skills.

Montessori is based on a deep understanding of the way children learn – through choosing, trying and doing themselves. When allied to the availability of specially developed materials in a prepared environment, and the close observation and guidance of a teacher, this leads to an enormously powerful, confidence-building approach to learning.
