Meet the Chiswick team - Big Little Forest Folk ;-)
The Little Forest Folk team has today been busy preparing (playing!) in Chiswick ahead of our launch into settling in sessions next week. We are very excited to be meeting our founding families tomorrow for an orientation into Little Forest Folk life.
We are delighted to announce our team will be led by Lil Hansen as manager, with Arturo her trusty deputy. Also part of the opening team are Manuel, Jose & Ben. All are incredible practitioners and very excited to be meeting their new families tomorrow.
We've done a practice run with our equipment and have chosen the most beautifully peaceful spot for our sleeping tent....there may even have been a trial snooze in there this afternoon!
Testing out our equipment in the forest
Little Forest Folk was such a dream of mine that I still pinch myself that it is now a reality. It makes me incredibly proud on days like today whilst we are getting ready for our opening to see not only the amazingly inspirational setting we have in the forest, but also to witness the caliber of staff who become a part of our Little Forest Folk family. Our staff are passionate to a degree rarely seen. They love to play and embrace our ethos of child-led, play-based learning. It's wonderful to see their imaginations creating areas to inspire wonderful play. And of course they are some of the biggest children in the forest.
The Big Little Forest Folk had a lot of fun today scoping the site
We are so excited to be opening in Chiswick. We can't wait to bring our unique brand of play and learning to Chiswick.
Wisdom begins in wonder. Let's allow our children to experience daily wonder.
