We believe preschool should be an adventure. In our open-air classroom, children are the captains of their own discovery—turning the meadows, groves, and trails of the park into a masterclass in curiosity. Through art, dance, yoga, sound & music medicine and seasonal exploration, we nurture a community where every child’s heart and mind are free to fly.
Forest Bloom at a Glance
Where nature is the Teacher
At Forest Bloom, we are a Reggio Emilia-inspired community rooted in the wild beauty of Golden Gate Park. We believe every child arrives with a "Hundred Languages"—a hundred ways of thinking, playing, and speaking—and our mission is to listen to every single one.
The Child as Their Own Hero
We don't follow a rigid curriculum; we follow the child. Whether we’re tracking a beetle or building a fort, the child’s curiosity is our compass.The Park as the Third Teacher
The environment is our educator. From the shifting shadows of the cypress trees to the rhythm of the Pacific fog, the park invites children to wonder and create.The Creator of the Journey
By navigating the gentle risks of the forest—climbing a branch or negotiating a game—children build the internal confidence of a bird that knows it is free to fly.
Preschool must be an adventure. Come explore with us!
