Cincinnati Emerging Sprouts Forest School

This will be Emerging Sprouts Forest School's 3rd year offering Afterschool Forest School at Parker Woods Montessori! During Afterschool Forest School, students will explore the natural world, play games, go on hikes, and observe bugs and other small creatures. All of our activities are based on voluntary participation, and we help students feel at home in the outdoors. Our curriculum focuses on teamwork, empathy towards people and nature, and caring for the natural world. Many students excel in science and math in the classroom after participating in our hands-on outdoor classes. We have also seen significant growth in many of our students' social and emotional development!

Our classes serve the entire school and we offer sliding-scale tuition, payment plans, as well as scholarships. Want to apply for a scholarship? You can apply here.

Payment plans: if you would like to sign up but cannot pay the tuition for the entire school year, we understand and found a way for you to hold your space, and pay over time. Here's how to do it
