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 3-8.
