Make Kindergarten the best year of your child's life.

Aspen Leaf's Forest School Kindergarten is a nature-based Kindergarten that combines daily exploration in nature with a classroom education that prepares kids to succeed in elementary school. Our class size is small (12 students with 2 teachers). We focus on social and emotional development. And our emergent curriculum fosters a love of learning and keeps children engaged as they learn literacy, writing, math, and the other foundations for elementary school.

Spots available for Fall 2023. Contact us today to schedule a tour!

- Are positive & reliable
- Have a passion for working with children
- Enjoy creating beautiful, engaging environments for children
- Want to form bonds with their students’ families
- Collaborate well with others

Pay is competitive and based on experience. Benefits include health, dental, vision, and life insurance; retirement plan; and at least two weeks paid time off (fully effective in the first year).

Our teachers have been hard at work this week getting their classrooms ready for the new school year. Here are some sneak peeks. We can’t wait to see everyone this week!

Happy teacher appreciation week! Even though we are apart we are sending love to all of our Aspen Leaf teachers. We appreciate all the love and care you have given to our children over the years. Thank you for continuing to create a sense of community even during this time of social distancing.

Glow in the dark egg hunt! This is a great activity for toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged kids. We stuffed plastic eggs with glow sticks and had a night time egg hunt. The kids loved it!
