Description:
Fox Hollow Forest School is a joyful, outdoor-first preschool located in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains. Our nature-based program offers full-day, year round education and care for children ages 3-5. At Fox Hollow Forest School, all of our little learners have the opportunity to be outside for the majority of each day. They experience all that nature and the seasons have to offer on the grounds of Barstow Memorial School and the East Creek Trails behind it. We go outside in all types of (non-extreme) weather and use the great outdoors as our main classroom. Teachers guide our learners in inquiries and explorations that are driven by their curious minds and questions. We teach a program that is aligned with the seasons and takes into account the natural changes in the world around us each day.
