Into the Forest Learning Center We believe children learn best when having the ability to move freely in their environment. We plan to create an environment that supports these beliefs.

Our vision is to become a trusted, high quality leader in Early Childhood Education, that focuses on a nature infused learning environment that creates real life experiences. A child’s Self-confidence and self-esteem are built when they are able to explore and make their own decisions while being supported by their peers and teachers. We feel that there is a high demand for nature based forest preschools in the area, that offer a safe place for children to explore and problem solve in outdoor adventures. Right now there is not a facility that supports this need for outdoor learning in the area and we intend to be the first outdoor leaning center in this area, with hopes to one day expand to several different facilities throughout Spokane Valley, Liberty lake and Newman lake/Otis Orchards area. We plan to have daily real life experiences for every child to learn from while outside as well as inside. We will go on weekly hikes to see the wooded areas near us as well as bring nature inside with lots of hands on learning opportunities. We will have an outside music and art area at the facility and we will be outside rain or shine, as long as the kids want to be outside we will be out there. We both have over 10 years of experience in child care as well as children of our own. We both believe that an outdoor learning environment is the best environment for children to learn things that are meaningful and relevant to their everyday life. We hope that our childcare center will grow through word of mouth. We will provide high quality care that is individualized for every child and family’s needs. We are very excited to begin this journey!

We are looking for a few fun and energetic people who love the outdoors and working with children. We are Into the Forest Outdoor Learning Center and Preschool, Spokane's first nature-based outdoor preschool. We believe children learn best when they are not confined to indoor spaces and forced to sit, to learn. And also, through experiences of touching, moving, listening, and observing and have control over the direction of their learning. A child's Self-confidence and self-esteem are built when they can explore and make their own decisions while being supported by their peers and teachers. We let children self-engage in activities that we have set out, that have a specific skill set that we are teaching. After they engage in the activities, we as teachers sit with them and expand on what they are learning. We spend at least 50% of the day outside in all weather and bring all the learning activities that we do inside, outside. We are looking for several team members for full and part-time positions that will fit with our teaching style. Starting wages will range from $17.13-$19/hr depending on experience and education. First-aid, CPR, TB test, and background check are required before starting. You must also complete the 110-300 WAC training and qualifications to be considered for the positions. (You will have 1 month to complete them after hiring) So if you love the outdoors and want to work with children, please contact us to set up an interview. [email protected] 5098220208
