About The Treehouse: a Forest Garden School

The Treehouse: a Forest Garden School is a Waldorf-inspired early childhood education program dedicated to nurturing young learners aged 6 weeks to 6 years, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners. With a mission to foster holistic development through nature-based experiences, the school uniquely blends certified indoor classrooms with an immersive outdoor environment, allowing children to thrive in both settings. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on activities such as yoga, painting, music, and gardening, all while utilizing natural and handmade toys that encourage creativity and exploration. The approach is rooted in the belief that outdoor learning fosters resilience and curiosity, with children spending the majority of their school day in a vibrant Forest Garden that spans one-third of an acre. What sets The Treehouse apart is its commitment to maintaining a low student-teacher ratio, which ensures personalized attention and support for each child. Additionally, strong partnerships with families are prioritized through community events and open communication, creating a nurturing atmosphere where every child can flourish.
