Kincardineshire Forest School are currently using the Wood to hold Nature Kindergarten sessions. Dawn (an experienced early years teacher), and Grace (a storyteller and musician), are passionate about getting people outside and helping children learn and develop in a natural, nurturing environment. Children between the ages of 3 and 5 are welcome to join us on Wednesday mornings for play and adventures. Parents and siblings are welcome to stay but can feel free to leave one their child is settled with us. You can also find us on Facebook - Kincardineshire Forest School. |
