Education Programs
At Wild Wander Forest School, we offer a continuum of nature-based education programs designed to nurture the whole child—from their earliest years through the foundational grades. Rooted in outdoor exploration, play, and curiosity, our programs include preschool, transitional kindergarten (TK), kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade, and homeschool enrichment. Each is guided by the rhythms of nature, aligned with California State Standards, and shaped by Forest School and Project-Based Learning approaches. Whether your child is beginning their learning journey or continuing to grow as an independent thinker, there’s a Wild Wander program designed to meet them right where they are—outdoors, engaged, and thriving.

Families that attend Wild Wander Forest School are seeking
more than just early education -
They value adventurous, confidence-building play and a learning environment that nurtures emotional safety and curiosity. They want their children to be empowered with body autonomy and a deep sense of trust in themselves and others. These families prioritize resilience built through real-world challenges and are drawn to a slower, more intentional rhythm that encourages presence and meaningful disconnection from the noise of modern life. At Wild Wander, they find a place where learning, growth, and wonder unfold naturally—just as childhood should.
