About this program
Sandhill Forest School of Livingston County is a nature-based preschool and homeschool enrichment program founded in 2022, offering a unique alternative education approach in Michigan's Livingston County area. As the first forest school of its kind in the region, the program emphasizes a slower-paced, child-centered educational philosophy that prioritizes outdoor learning and connection to nature over screen time and constant stimulation. The school operates on a part-time schedule, meeting Monday and Wednesday mornings during both summer and fall sessions. The program's core mission centers on helping children build a strong sense of self, develop effective communication and boundary-setting skills, and cultivate confidence, ingenuity, and resilience through forest-based learning. The school takes a gentle, respectful approach that nurtures the whole child while celebrating individual uniqueness and fostering positive relationships with teachers, peers, and the natural world.
