Mindful Forest School by The Child's Element provides an environment where your child can step away from electronics and modern toys to experience the natural state of being a child. Through creativity, movement, meditation, and engaging with the outdoors, a strong connection is made with the Earth. This connection supports a child’s deeper sense of self, promotes emotional awareness and regulation, and creates a balance within your child’s life. Mindful Forest School will guide your child in developing mindfulness, and emotional intelligence while exploring their own brilliant mind. From creative expression and meditation, to building, hiking mountains, and playing in the dirt, this program is where your child’s imagination will come alive, while continuing to gain the skills essential for life. Email us for enrollment information, access to the Parent Handbook, exact location details, or to talk to the Director about the program and to answer any of your questions!

The Child's Element allows every child to make mistakes, to learn the process of repair, and to try again. This skill set of processing will then be extended to every aspect of a child's life (i.e. family balance, peer relationships, problem solving, academic confidence, and through their own development of self).

Without the use of most modern technology and toys, your child will have the chance to get creative, and to brainstorm with a team of peers to explore their ideas and creativity, with teacher support. Through this supported structured and unstructured time, your child will build confidence and independence.

Experiencing our Earth's elements hands on, your child will learn with the seasons. We share in the joy that can be found every moment of every year.
