Hi all,
My name is Kate Golubinski.

I’m the Founder of Forest Playgroup LLC Programs, as well as a passionate former nature school director and teacher, and early childhood nature curriculum writer. I’ve served on the board of directors for the Forest School Foundation of Asheville, North Carolina and I’ve also lead numerous nature-based homeschool co-ops while living in Raleigh, North Carolina. I’m currently working on expanding my Forest Playgroup Programs throughout Long Island, NY, North Carolina and Connecticut!

For those who are not familiar, I wanted to share the topic of forest school a bit more. Forest schooling is outdoor based education, usually in the woodlands or forest, and geared towards children. Children reap the benefits of the outdoors while learning through a play-based approach at the same time (often times, they don’t even realize they’re learning!).

Nature-based schools and outdoor-based schools are also popping up and increasing in popularity as well as awareness! The benefits of all three types of education can be immense, helping children with motor skills and balance/coordination all the way down to social-emotional perks as well as providing immunity benefits. Most forest schools seem to be geared towards children ages 3-6, although programs for babies & toddlers and their caregivers also exist as well as for older children. There are even nature-based schools that are K-12th grade!
The forest school educational approach & movement originated in Scandinavia and has made its way through Europe and recently into the United States. Upon its growth, it has been touching many other parts of the world as well.

Outdoor-based and nature-based schooling has followed suit and tend to model very similar approaches. As a quickly growing wholesome & nurturing educational movement with lifelong benefits, and with 1,000+ schools and programs on this list, I encourage everyone to check it out!

Below you’ll find a current list of forest schools, outdoor-based and nature-based schools throughout the United States. *This list will be updated semi-frequently!*

If you know of any additional schools or programs that are not listed, even if they are just starting up, please comment with a link to the school’s website as well as its name and location and I will gladly add it to the list! ❤️ Obtain information, share with others, network and enjoy! Let’s continue to spread the awareness of outdoor education as well as all of it’s astounding benefits!
