BEYOND FOREST SCHOOLING

As an alternative to the traditional learning model, that sees learners as recipients of knowledge, teachers as the depositary of the truth, and education as merely reproductive, Little Earth inquiry-based Advanced Wholistic Education positions learners as active participants in knowledge creation, where teachers are facilitators rather than lecturers.

Our purpose is to empower learners to see and experience the world critically and through an ethical lens, so that they can develop the right set of skills to take an active role as agents of change of the future.

Little Earth has been the forest school home that our family was looking for. Little Earth has been a wonderful learning environment for both our wild boy and our quiet girl. Each is nurtured in a way unique to their needs. They have been encouraged to grow and try new things, introduced to learning opportunities in nature, made new friends and found new passions. We love the balance between farm and forest, the cooking classes, the ability to learn through play and all of the social growth that happens when different aged children have the opportunity to spend time together. 

 

The Founders, B and Garrett, are wonderful communicators, are always open to suggestions and feedback, and never stop looking for ways to enhance the children's experiences. They have built an incredible community of teachers, children and families that we are lucky to be a part of.

Two Dried Leaves
We are extremely grateful for Little Earth Forest School. Our youngest child started the program this autumn and she is thriving, playing, and learning every day in the most beautiful outdoor settings.  Preschool age is a very important developmental time when emotions are high, brains and bodies are growing rapidly, and children need opportunities to learn how to manage risk, their emotions, and how to navigate conflict. Little Earth is a school where children can be themselves, connect with nature, and learn about friendship, all with the mentorship of playful and nurturing teachers.

Dry Reeds
When choosing a school for our son we knew we wanted something that would encourage his confidence, freedom and connection to Nature. Little Earth has been a dream come true. The community is reach with love, open hearts, and curiosity runs abundant. I have witnessed my 2 year old lead and be lead, have fun and find his place among his peers. he loves it and we love it too. A perfect launchpad into the New World, a place to let them be little, pure, and lead the way.

White Grass
Little Earth has been a gift beyond measure for my son and our family. He comes home everyday with dirt on his clothes and light in his eyes, and I know that is what is contributing to his childhood - and to the foundation of the rest of his life - and it is truly invaluable for us. Little Earth Forest School is a place where children are truly in their element, exploring nature, lost in their own imaginations and free to learn and grow in the most natural way. Every child in the world deserves a childhood experience like the one Little Earth provides.
