Forest Dreamers Wednesday Drop-in 

November 13, 2019

 

Rooted in the European Forest Kindergarten model, Irvine's Forest Dreamers program offers children a rare opportunity for an entirely outdoor learning experience in addition to their preschool program or as an extra year of forest school before starting traditional kindergarten or first grade.

Two wonder-filled guides accompany the group as they explore ponds and streams, play in the meadow, climb trees, and develop a deep respect for the natural world as they grow to love and trust one another. We experience nature in all kinds of weather, with a campfire at our side if we need to keep warm and shade over head if we need to cool down.

OPTIONAL LUNCH BUNCH: If your child is enrolled in Irvine's afternoon Nature Preschool or an Earth Friends class they may join Lunch Bunch, for no additional fee, from 12:30-1:00 with a packed lunch.

THINGS TO WEAR: You should expect your child, and his or her clothing, to get dirty. Please dress your child in comfortable clothing that can get dirty so they feel free to participate in all activities. We are outdoors everyday so please make sure they have appropriate clothes for the weather and temperature. On rainy days, we highly recommend rainboots, a waterproof jacket and rain pants, or a muddy buddy one piece. In colder temperatures, we highly recommend layering with a warm base layer, a waterproof exterior shell, an extra pair of socks, a hat, and 2 pairs of gloves - one should be waterproof gloves.

MUST HAVES:

  • closed toe shoes with gripping soles
  • an extra set of labeled clothing in a Ziploc bag
  • light weight backpack
  • water bottle filled with water
  • a small peanut-free snack
  • insect repellent and/or sunscreen applied prior to class

IF YOU ENROLL YOUR CHILD AND HAVE NOT SUBMITTED ALL PAPERWORK AND PAYMENT, YOU MUST ARRIVE BY 9:15 TO COMPLETE THESE TASKS. ARRIVING LATER MAY PREVENT YOUR CHILD FROM BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS THAT DAY.

Ages: 4-6 years old (children must be 4 years old by September 1, 2019)

Time: 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Dates: Wednesday, November 13

Prices: $35 Members / $40 Non-members
