                                                  Mission


– Create a school life where children absorb the many health, cognitive and social benefits of the great outdoors.
– Empower children to feel connected to their community and protective of their world.
– Infuse academic learning through exploration and non-rigorous routines.
– Employ caring educators with dual experience in the natural sciences and social-emotional development.
– Develop a program where parents can feel assured knowing that their children are connecting with nature, developing friends and receiving  exceptional care from involved teachers. 

At Heart Rock Forest School, we connect children to nature with great care and affection for their developing needs. Studies have shown the negative impact of nature deficiency on a child’s development. We aim to solve this problem by making our classroom settings outdoors. Our program is designed by a director who has a background in child development and play based education.





“In nature, children learn to take risks, overcome fears, make new friends, regulate emotions, and create imaginary worlds.”
