Welcome to our forest play school, where we embrace a wall-less classroom and serve families as an enrichment program!
Maypop Forest School is a year round outdoor based program in Kingston Springs, TN. By centering our children into a relationship with nature, teaching them stewardship and respect for the land, our lessons naturally arise from an immersive learning environment. In our program our students are supported in their social emotional learning, critical thinking, and creativity through open ended play and place based materials. We learn collaboratively through inquiry, exploration and wonder.
​
Our program is designed to invite young children to immerse themselves in nature, stimulate curiosity, and foster compassion and empathy for all living beings. We focus on nurturing the whole-child, giving them agency in their learning so they may thrive with a sense of belonging and purpose in our ever changing world.

We know the physical impact humans can have on the land and for this reason we keep our class size small. Limited spaces are available.
We have written a handbook that covers these topics in more depth along with other important information. If you are interested in applying to our program please read the handbook and fill out an application.
