Camano Forest School
(Ages 3-11)
Rooted in child-led learning, our year-round program provides a safe, nature-immersed environment where exploration and play guide early learning. Through daily hands-on experiences outdoors, students develop creativity, resilience, and academic skills in a way that feels joyful, meaningful, and deeply connected to the seasons.
Our days follow a gentle, predictable rhythm that help children feel grounded and secure. We start with with morning circle and mindfulness activities to foster connection and presence. From there, students engage in baking, music, hiking, arts and crafts, reading, and hands-on exploration. Ample time for free play allows children to follow their interests, build independence, and deepen their connection to the natural world and one another.

Our Teaching Philosophy
Our program nurtures the whole child by meeting each individual's unique needs. We prioritize plenty of space for child-led and centered learning. It is our role as educators to be fully present with each child’s experience while engaging their curiosity and allowing them to lead the way of their learning. Our curriculum is emergent - open ended, flexible, and intentionally guided by the children's emerging interests. We believe that true learning is most deeply experienced when it is joyous, child-led, and full of play and exploration.
Our curriculum is built around the rhythms and routines of place. Our classrooms are located on the occupied traditional tribal lands of Coast Salish peoples, specifically Kikiallus, Stillaguamish, Tulalip and others who have tended the land for time immemorial. Many of our teachings are rooted in and honor indigenous knowledge.
