Pathfinders Forest
Preschool
Now accepting applications for the 2022-2023 school year. Enrollment begins March 1 with family interviews.
- Pathfinders forest preschool program is for children 3 to 5 years old. Students in the program participate in play-based learning, exploration, and self-discovery. Songs, stories, and creative approaches are paired with social-emotional learning to promote a sense of belonging in nature and connections with fellow students.
- The program is held Mondays through Fridays from 8:45am to 1:15pm.
- Children may be enrolled Tuesday/Thursday in Song Sparrows or Monday/Wednesday/Friday in Water Striders. A few spots are open to attend 5 days a week, mostly for 2nd year students.
- We are excited to be able to use our vans again during the 2022-23 school year. The Magic Forest in Palo Alto is our drop-off and pickup location.
