Forest Bloom Outdoor School
,
Forest Bloom Outdoor School is a multi-age forest school program following the examples of the first Danish and Swedish outdoor schools from the 1950s. Our Reggio-Emilia approach, which originated in Italy, beautifully honors childhood views children as capable and competent, and believes that children are able to construct their own knowledge. Being both Reggio-Inspired and nature-based we are able to offer children the opportunity to learn and explore in nature and develop ideas that inspire their curiosity.
