At Little Finch Forest School, our mission is

to nurture and deepen children's

connection to the natural world.

Guided by our core values, children’s passions, and interests, we create

immersive hands-on learning experiences in a nurturing outdoor setting.

Finch offers four exceptional programs in the Foothills of North Los Angeles designed to nurture young minds:

A teacher carrying one child while the other four children hold hands in a line.

For our littlest littles our toddler class welcomes children ages 2.5-3.4 with sessions held Monday through Friday during the spring semester (September–January) and the fall semester (February–June).

Teacher showing kids how to use outdoor  tools.

For our older explorers, our preschool class welcomes children ages 3.5-5.5, with sessions held Monday through Friday during the spring semester (September–January) and the fall semester (February–June).

Finch welcomes children ages 3.5-10 during July and August, offering flexible scheduling—choose your weeks and days, Monday through Friday.

Finch offers a nurturing Parent & Me class for infants and toddlers up to 2 years old, providing a gentle introduction to outdoor exploration, sensory play, and community connection in beautiful natural settings

Enrollment for our Summer Camp is now open and we are excited to welcome new students into our vibrant learning community.
