Woods Forest School

It used to be that children of all ages could be outdoors relatively unsupervised, going to the neighbor or nearest adult when they were needed, but learning to navigate problems and situations amongst each other. While we do not believe that our world is any less safe, we live in a society where good parenting is now seen as always watching, always warning, and always being there to assist children in their play. I think this can be quite harmful to children, so our goal is to be there in a more modeling role. In ancient times, adults went about their business of life, and the children were around playing and imitating the adults in their work; it is how they learned to be adults. If all we do is follow children or stand around watching them, they have no one to imitate. This can be disastrous for young children who are entirely in the realm of imitation for learning.

We’re excited to share that Woods Forest School is hosting Madison Harman for a 3-week pregnancy support and birth education course for Divine Beginnings. This course is a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking to learn more about pregnancy and birth. Join us in building a supportive community where we can exchange knowledge and experiences. We hope to see you there!
