6 Reasons Parents Benefit From Forest School

Your child will get a unique, fulfilling educational and social experience at Forest School. So how will it benefit you, parents and carers?

1. Peace of mind

Forest School provides a safe and supervised environment for children to explore and learn in nature. You can have peace of mind knowing that your children are engaged in activities that promote their physical and cognitive development while being closely monitored by trained, qualified professionals at a sensible ratio.

2. Connection with nature

We often involve parents in activities or events, allowing you to connect with nature alongside your children. This is always a welcome and refreshing break from the usual indoor routines and provides an opportunity for parents to appreciate the natural world.

3. Bonding opportunities

Forest School can create opportunities for parents to bond with their children. Participating in outdoor activities together fosters quality time, shared experiences, and strengthens the parent-child relationship. We regularly upload photos to our Instagram and Facebook profiles, and Tapestry too, so you can see what your child is learning about and exploring.

4. Community engagement

Forest School often encourages parent involvement and community engagement. This can lead to the formation of supportive networks and connections with other parents who share similar values and interests.

5. Enhanced well-being

Spending time in nature has been shown to have positive effects on mental and physical well-being. When parents engage in forest activities with their children, they can also experience these benefits, such as reduced stress, improved mood, and increased relaxation - not forgetting tired, fulfilled children.
