WNC's First Nature Preschool

Growing Wild Forest School is a nature-immersion Preschool and Summer Camp located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. Founded in 2016, the school serves as the region's first and only not-for-profit early childhood education program that nurtures child-led nature connection and whole-child development across the changing seasons.​

 

Operating year-round, GWFS offers half-day programming for ages 3-6, and a memorable forest camp experience in the summer months for ages 3-6. Review our FAQs page for more information on our talented team of educators, our instructional philosophy and the one-of-a-kind enrichment experiences we can offer your child, inside and out.

(My child's) independence, confidence and emotional resilience have noticeably increased in a short time, and I can tell from the observations her teachers have shared that they are able to give her the individual support and attention she needs.

Hurricane Helene devastated our community and caused the temporary closure of our school. During this time of transition and change, we are raising money to continue our programming and support our amazing staff.
