Little Finch Photo Journal: Place and Space
This Photo Journal offers a glimpse into daily life at Little Finch Forest School in Pasadena. From outdoor snack time beneath towering trees to root climbing, tea circles, and canyon exploration, these moments reflect the beauty of nature-based early childhood education in Los Angeles.
Sunny Days After The Rainy Days
This week, listening became our point of departure. Guided by the sound of unseen water, the Finches followed curiosity into careful observation, shared inquiry, and deep connection with place, body, and one another.
Little Finch Journal: a week at forest school
Chilly mornings and sun-seeking adventures set the rhythm of a winter week at Little Finch Forest School. Through shadow hunts, stream play, and collaborative exploration, children practiced community awareness while learning to listen to their bodies and the natural world. A glimpse into nature-based preschool learning where outdoor education, teamwork, and seasonal wonder unfold beyond four walls.
We Are A Preschool, And Our Classroom Is The Forest.
At Little Finch Forest School, we believe the best learning happens in the open air. Our classroom has no walls, no ceilings, and an infinite number of lessons waiting to be discovered. This philosophy allows preschool-age children to build not just academic skills, but also confidence, resilience, and a deep connection to the natural world around them.
