Wonderforest Nature Preschool

About this program

Wonderforest Nature Preschool is an urban nature-based preschool located in Brooklyn, New York, offering full-day care with early drop-off and extended day options. As the sister program to Brooklyn Nature Days' nature immersion classes in Prospect Park, Wonderforest creates a space where children feel safe, supported, and empowered as they connect with the natural world in an urban setting. The school is committed to developing each child's empathy and respect for self, others, and the environment through nature immersion, peaceful conflict resolution, and consent basics. Wonderforest operates as part of BK Natur(ed), a non-profit organization, and maintains strong commitments to conscious anti-racism practices and Indigenous land awareness, working closely with The Lenape Center. The program emphasizes accessibility to nature-based education through financial aid options, ensuring that enrollment decisions are based on families' desire for nature immersion rather than ability to pay.
