Philosophy

At our preschool, we strive to create a safe and caring community of young nature explorers inspired by the Montessori philosophy. Our program is a place where children can learn through doing, invent through making, and solve problems by working together. All while I encourage them to be independent and live happy and Healthy Lifestyles by being active outdoors. We believe that when children are truly engaged with their environment, fun and learning happens. We do this by creating a space driven by the interests and ideas of the children who inhabit it. When learning is fun children don’t realize that they are learning to count to 100 by doing jumping jacks outside or by counting rocks as they throw them.

Location

We’re in the Russell Oaks neighborhood of Lake Asbury on a Suburban street in a single family home. With easy access to the Ronnie Van Zant Park are just a short walk away. We’re also just steps to a duck pond for fishing. We live in a wonderful peaceful, quiet location with a children’s Paradise in the backyard- a parent’s dream!

About our program

Nestled in Green Cove Springs, Forest Friends Nature Preschool stands out for its immersive outdoor activities, which spark curiosity and nurture young minds. With a focus on preparing children for school and fostering independence through hands-on experiences, we provide a unique approach to early learning. Parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s growth and development, making it a truly enriching experience for the whole family.
