Wee Folk Forest Kindergarten
Wee Folk Forest Kindergarten is a "rain or shine" outdoor preschool/kindergarten with multiple locations in the greater Boulder/Denver area for children ages 2 1/2 to 6, and children 0 to 2 1/2 in our Parent/Tot program. We are inspired by the Waldkindergartens and Forest Schools of Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Finland, where children spend the early years of their education in entirely outdoor settings.
