Kaleidoscope Forest School provides the opportunity for young children to experience learning in the outdoor world. 

Our Forest program is a unique opportunity for children to connect with nature while developing critical preschool skills.  Close contact with nature contributes to children’s motor, sensory, social, emotional, moral and cognitive development, as well as their physical health and mental well-being.  Our Forest days are play-based, interest led and child inspired.  This program is entirely outdoors, year-round.

We are proud to be the first licensed outdoor, nature-based preschool program by the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families! - Click Here for more info
