Forest Friends

The Spring Session of Forest Friends with Ray Lightheart is starting up in April!

Families will explore the application of two caregiving philosophies in a nature based setting over the course of 6 weeks.

  • Magda Gerber’s Educaring Approach (part of the RIE® method) a philosophy for caregiving centered on respect, trust, and observation, viewing children as competent individuals, not objects, to foster authentic, secure, and independent children.
  • Waldorf, a child-centered philosophy aiming to develop intellectually, artistically, and practically skilled individuals by nurturing the whole child (head, heart, and hands).

The cost of the 6 week sessions is $225. Sliding scale and payment plans are available and our hope is that anyone interested in attending will reach out if finances feel like a barrier.
