Forest Families

🌱 Formerly known as Forest Friday 🌱

The OMFS Forest Families Program offers an introduction to the forest school program.

Embark on a nature-filled adventure with our enchanting Forest Families Program designed for caregivers and children aged 2-4! Step into a world where learning and exploration intertwine amidst the beauty of the great outdoors.

At OMFS, we believe in the transformative power of nature, fostering curiosity, imagination, and a deep connection to the natural world. Led by experienced educators, our program provides a unique blend of play-based activities and hands-on experiences within the magical embrace of the forest.

As caregivers, you’ll have the opportunity to bond with your little ones, while creating a new community of like minded folks. Storytelling, circle time, and craft options, along with loose parts and creative provocations made available each week promise an abundance of joy and discovery.

Through our carefully crafted program, children will work towards building resilience and confidence. They’ll engage in sensory play, learn about local flora and fauna, and engage in crafts all which may help to instill a deep appreciation for the environment.

OMFS is a safe, nurturing space where children can grow, learn, and thrive surrounded by the awe-inspiring wonders of nature. Come join us and watch as their eyes light up with every new adventure, as their laughter echoes through the trees, and as their hearts embrace the beauty of the Land.

Enroll today and unlock the transformative magic of our Forest Families Program!

This program is designed for children with a caregiver, ages 2-4 and babies in arms are always welcome. 

Contact us if your child is younger than 2 and you think this program may be a good fit. 

Babies in arms are welcome with no cost.  

Some program details: 

1. Dress for the weather as we will be outside the entire time.
2. Please bring along a snack and water for our story-time in the forest.
3. Please arrive on time as we will begin promptly at 9:30am with our gathering circle.
4. Our preference is that just one adult attends per child to maintain a balance of adults to children.
