Nestled between Monroe, Duvall, and Cottage Lake, just off W Snoqualmie Valley Rd NE and near Woodinville-Duvall Rd, our magical forest school is a 4-hour enrichment program immersing children in nature, where they explore, play, and grow in a sensory-rich environment.
Led by Kimberlee Kelly, M.A.Ed, we take a child-led, inquiry-based approach to early childhood education. At Little Fern Forest, families find their village. Our team includes forest teachers, occupational therapists, and parent volunteers. Together, we support each child as they navigate their own path, growing and discovering themselves and the world at their own pace and in their own way.
Children thrive in our dynamic nature-immersed space, which includes 15 acres of towering trees, mossy trails, and a seasonal creek. Our cozy 18-foot bell tent is set among our loose parts play areas, and natural spaces where children climb, build, splash, and grow in confidence, connection, and self-awareness. Through exploration at every stage, we foster social, emotional, and cognitive development in a nurturing, nature-filled space for children of all neurotypes: neurotypical and neurodivergent.
