Forest Kindergarten

Age 3 - 6 years

The Forest Kindergarten is the first program of the Šumska Škola project, launched with the desire and intention to create possibilities for children, aged approximately 3 to 6 years, of spending time outdoors in contact with nature, other children and themselves while engaging in self-directed and self-paced learning, learning by following their needs and own rhythm.

It is a space where we cultivate curiosity, following the child's natural learning direction, a space where the child can feel free to express himself and create, and a way for him to spontaneously develop his physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual capacities, as an individual as well as as part of a group.

The day consists of free time for independent and group play and learning, as well as organised workshops in which we deepen experiential knowledge and skills on a specific topic.
