Bay Area Forest Foxes Preschool

A Weekly Nature Immersion Course for ages 4-7

TrackersBAY pre-school programs bring children outside again. We form connections with each other and the land through games and adventure. We get to know the plants and animals through stories, hand crafts and imaginative play. Each day is a possibility for epic adventure and immersion in nature. This is a timeless space where we can freely follow our curiosities. With our low 1:5 ratio of instructors to kids, there will be plenty of opportunity to nurture each one of us as we tramp through forests, and meadows in all weather conditions.

Animal Tracking and Wildlife Exploration We discover what animals live here through identifying the tracks and sign they leave behind. We look for wild berries chase lizards and find bugs.

Scout Skills and Awareness We build shelters, learn tricks to not get lost in the woods, play awareness games and try to get close to animals without scaring them away.

Ecological Arts and Crafts Plants become paint, sticks become houses and rocks become tools as we learn to use the natural things around us for many fun and practical purposes. We mix our own magical herbal brews, build fairy houses and much more.

Role-Playing, Story Telling and Creative Play We become a tribe building a secret village or a pack of coyotes. We become the animals around us and learn to move like them creating our own stories as we go.

Each day routine can include...

• Morning circle, songs and games
• Exploration, free play and quest
• Snack and animal story
• A ecological skill, art or craft project
• Lunch, stories of the day: from children and instructors
