About Limpy Creek Forest School
Limpy Creek Forest School is a fully outdoor, nature-based preschool for children ages 3 to 5, and we were the first licensed outdoor, nature-based program in Oregon. Classes meet year-round, in all kinds of weather, on the 83 acres of forest our co-founders tend outside Grants Pass. A 38-foot canvas sky lodge serves as our outdoor classroom.
Our program is play-based and place-based, with an emergent curriculum, so the season, the land and the children's own interests shape what we teach. A typical day mixes games, stories, circle time, nature crafts, earth science, hikes, and both child-led and teacher-led activities. We still work on early reading, writing, math and alphabet awareness.
The full schedule runs Tuesday to Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and we also offer 4-hour days. Tuition covers child care, craft and materials fees, and one snack a day, and families pack a lunch. Our director and lead teacher holds a degree in human development with an early childhood focus. We accept Oregon's Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) subsidy.
