Welcome to our Forest School Spring Session, where the great outdoors becomes our classroom, and every day is an adventure waiting to unfold!

In our enchanted outdoor setting, learning and exploration thrive amidst the towering trees and vibrant wildlife. Each morning, our journey begins with a joyful circle time, where young learners eagerly participate in choosing activities for the day ahead, empowering them to shape their own educational experience.
Under the guidance of our dedicated instructors, students will delve into plant identification, fort building, and insects observations. Add hiking, tree climbing, and active play woven into our daily routine, there’s never a dull moment in our outdoor classroom. We know that some times kids need quite time, then the tent or a cabin packed with blankets and books will be ready for them.
Safety and support are our top priorities, which is why we maintain a low student-to-instructor ratio with two instructors accompanying each group. Plus, we welcome an open-door policy for our students’ families, fostering a sense of community and connection within our forest school family.

Even if you speak Russian in the family, your children may refuse speaking Russian if they don’t have a good vocabulary, reading and writing skills. Children need structure and also the opportunities to use Russian language outside the family. That is why they take Russian lessons in our school.
Our experienced and talented teachers nurture children’s creativity and interest in Russian Language by finding great reading materials appropriate for the children’s age and skills (which is often very hard to do), organizing competitions, theatrical plays, discussing books and movies. The teacher will inspire students to practice and improve reading and writing skills, to learn grammar appropriate for this age level, to stimulate creativity in using the language.Price $140/monthto book a trial class email to ksenia@partyandcook.com

Tantrums: why they happen and how to respond with calming presence
by Maria Ryabokon, Certified Parenting Coach, www.parentwithasmile.com
This talk is crafted to empower parents with the knowledge and confidence needed to support young children (ages 1-6) through intense emotions.
We’ll use the science of brain development and nervous system function to understand the underlying causes of tantrums. Parents will have the opportunity to reflect on their own reactions and thoughts to explore why witnessing tantrums can be challenging.
Finally, we’ll discuss a set of practical strategies designed to help you remain present and supportive when your child experiences BIG emotions.
