What is forest school?
Forest School is a child-centred and inspirational learning process that is carried out through regular sessions in outdoor natural environments. Children are supported to explore, play, learn and connect with nature as well as become part of a community. It is a long-term programme of experiences that offers opportunities for holistic growth through play, exploration and supported risk-taking. Children are able to freely explore and interact with theirsurroundings, which enables them to become present in the moment and become lost in their learning. There is a focus on fostering a deep connection with the natural world, promoting physical development, cognitive skills, social interaction, and emotional well-being. Forest school allows children to develop confidence, curiosity, resilience, and environmental awareness, providing a unique and enriching learning experience that nurtures the whole child.
Nice to meet you
Hello, I'm Louise, the Founder of Little Eden Forest School. My journey into teaching and my transition into becoming a Forest School teacher has allowed me to follow my passion for environmental education and my belief in child-led learning. I am committed to creating a nurturing and empowering learning environment where children can thrive and connect with nature by fostering their love for learning and nurturing their innate curiosity. I am excited to share my passion with schools, caregivers and children and to help in cultivating a deeper connection with nature for the next generation.
