My daughter goes to OMFS and it is such an incredible school! She would come home sad majority of days from public school even though she loved her teacher and was at an amazing school so we decided to try forest school one day a week and she always comes home so happy. It also seemed to help improve her other school days I think because it breaks up the week and she now only goes to public school 4 days a week. I would highly recommend OMFS for any child to reap the benefits, especially if your child is struggling at public school or if they have lots of energy. Mel and all the teachers are so wonderful with the children as well and we are truly so thankful for OMFS!

We have attended OMFS for years, and so appreciate our experience. We first joined for Forest Fridays, a parent and toddler program. Staff and families were warm and welcoming, activities included a range of options to engage a wide range of children (and their families), ages and interests. Upon reaching school-age, we have continued to send our child 1 day/week. They continue to thrive, and share stories of connection with nature, peers and staff each week. Staff are patient, friendly, caring and risk-aware, encouraging exploration within reasonable boundaries. We appreciate knowing our child is well cared for every week, while they have fun learning and growing outdoors. Now that we, as parents, are no longer participating in the program, we receive detailed updates and some pictures about the explorations and discoveries every week. (Winter weather and snow days in particular can be tricky, so that element is worth being aware of)
