This summer version of Forest Kindergarten will have the same components of our regular Forest Kindergarten program.
We invite children ages 3-6 to play and explore in the unspoiled beauty of Big Oak Canyon, Earthroots 39-acre property located on ancestral Acjachemen and Tongva territory in Silverado Canyon, California. This land includes 200+ year old oak trees, diverse native flora, flowing creeks and ample intact ecosystems for children to explore.
Children will expand their senses as they listen to bird calls, compare plant features, squish in mud, or splash in the creek. Songs, stories, games, and activities will connect to seasonal observations and nature themes.
In Forest Kindergarten, nature is the teacher. Earthroots instructors are skilled mentors who guide children into deep, meaningful, outdoor play, while providing hands-on, inquiry based explorations outdoors.
Our hope is that participation in this program will foster a life-long love of the natural world!
