The mission of Colorado Nature School is to provide quality early learning experiences for children by connecting them with the natural world through exploration, inquiry and investigation alongside nurturing Guides using the Forest School approach to support their growth and development.
Kids need to play!
The young mind is naturally curious and wants to explore. At Colorado Nature School, children direct their own learning, based on what is interesting and meaningful to them.
All classes take place exclusively outdoors, using the English Forest School approach to early learning and development.
Children ages 3-5 play and learn in pods of four with a Guide who nurtures and supports their development.
5 year olds who are ready for a nature based approached to their Kindergarten year.
Kindergarten - 5th Grade

Classes are held daily in nature,

The children decide
where we go and what they do each day, which leads to more meaningful learning experiences.

Each Forest School Learning Guide
lends their personal touch
to support, scaffold and enhance each child's learning experiences.
We guide children through the emotional journey of preschool.
We nurture self-help skills as they learn to navigate their daily lives.
