Our Community

 “In the social sense, culture means a community’s way of life: its values, forms of behavior, and codes of coexistence. In the organic sense, culture implies, growth and evolution. At their best, schools are living communities of individuals who come together in a shared venture of learning and development. How well they do this is all about the culture of the school.” —Ken Robinson, Creative Schools

"Best Preschool Ever. My son has been at Forest School for 3 years, my 3 year old is going next year! Heidi does an amazing job." —Jamie Wheeler

"Forest School is amazing! The Forest concept is ideal for children and the dedication from teacher Heidi is outstanding. It's more than just a school, it's a community not just for the children but for parents too. The best things my child has learned from this school are self-confidence and empathy towards others. I'd say that's a win!" —Annalisa Peña 

"Forest School is a terrific, unique option in this area! Our daughter is learning a great appreciation and respect for nature, and important life lessons like teamwork, kindness, and problem solving. Heidi is a great teacher— patient, energetic, and passionate about outdoor schools. I highly recommend this school!" —Cherisse Reilly

"We are so grateful to have such an amazing outdoor program in Oregon City! Our family loves that our daughter gets a chance to be outside all year round and experience all the benefits that forest school has to offer. Miss Heidi is a fun and dedicated teacher, you can truly feel the love she has for all her Forest Schoolers." —Holly Bamber
