“When experience and learning are partners, resourcefulness follows.”
Our Mission
Big Sur Forest School provides an outdoor early childhood experience for the Big Sur community. Together, children and teachers gather around Big Sur to explore self in relation to the natural world. Learn More
Our Program
Big Sur Forest School offers a year-round early childhood program for children ages 1-5, hosted throughout Big Sur’s natural spaces. The learning experience supports the development of the whole child through an emergent, play-based curriculum held with connection, trust, and respect. Immersed in exploration of the natural world and each other, children develop resilience, responsibility, and a thriving sense of self in relationship with the world.
“The skills of words and logic have no matter, no substance, without a sense of planet and life, a sense of context: which is full of meaning, which matters, which has its roots in matter, the mother earth.”
Get Involved
We welcome you to join us in nurturing and developing the vision of Big Sur Park Forest School.
Much like our children, the seeds we have planted need support to thrive and bloom. Your involvement and contributions help establish a nourishing foundation for the growth of this initiative.
Together, let's create an opportunity for children to fully experience the magic of childhood.
