Doo Dads

Today we welcomed guests from the DeVos Foundation. They were seeking innovative education and requested a tour of our K-2 Forest and the Rose Park Ranch! What a joy it was to share the story of creativity, play in childhood, teamwork, dedicated staff members and growth! Thank you, friends, for all you do to create this story! At the conclusion of the visit team members remarked this is one of the most joy-filled, creative learning spaces for a child to grow in formative years! 

Check this out. First graders at play "deep" in the Forest on a spring morning! The weather is variable but the energy and creativity found in the Forest remains off the charts! Thank you, friends, to your dedication to creative play within the Forest that is critical to these little ones' growth and development!
