“This training was completely life changing. It touched every part of my soul in ways I could not have anticipated. I am coming away with so much knowledge and new understandings about children and place-based education. But also with a whole new vision of what I am working towards and want to bring to the children.” Level 1 Participant

The Academy of Forest Kindergarten Teachers is building a healthy foundation for teacher support. We recognize that our trainings take place on weekends and during summer months. Educators and leaders invest time and funds to grow and connect their work to the greater needs of our communities.

Let’s support this investment so we may continue to grow nature connected educators and leaders who protect the values, behaviors, and relationships of people to themselves, others, and to the natural world. We can protect our young ones to secure their connections so that they may flourish and contribute to flourishing communities.

If you would like us to share “Sponsor a Nature Connected Teacher” with your school community, please let us know. We are happy to reach out and request that teachers are invested in and supported to stay in a healthy stream of education, camaraderie, and professional development. info@forestkindergartenacademy.org
