This class is a great opportunity to meet other young families interested in nature-connection and to experience Ann Arbor Forest School’s facility and educational offerings.

An Extraordinary Outdoor Experience.
Your tuition includes:
- A Small Class Size. We have twelve students and two teachers, allowing for preschoolers to form close bonds and to receive the individual attention they need.
- High-Quality Gear Recommendations for Outdoor Play. We advise parents on specialized seasonal clothing designed to keep kids safe—from rain gloves and balaclavas to Canadian boots and Norwegian thermal underwear.
- Travel / Outings. Each day we venture out into our neighborhood. Your tuition includes daily field trips in Buhr and County Farm Park.
- Arts and Cultural Activities. We enjoy singing regularly with our Music Together teacher.
