Founded in 2024, BumbleBees Forest School will begin operation this September in Flagstaff, Arizona. Our founder, Rachael Kamma has a immense background of child development and education. BumbleBees offers a uniquely enriching environment for preschoolers, fostering both physical and cognitive development in natural surroundings. Unlike traditional classrooms, forest schools immerse children in the natural world, encouraging exploration, creativity, and a deep connection with nature from an early age. This hands-on approach not only enhances physical fitness and motor skills through activities like climbing, balancing, and exploring, but also promotes problem-solving abilities and critical thinking as children navigate natural obstacles and learn about the environment firsthand. Moreover, being outdoors in varying weather conditions teaches resilience and adaptability, while the freedom to explore independently sparks curiosity and a sense of wonder. Ultimately, forest schools provide a holistic learning experience that nurtures a child’s overall well-being and prepares them for a lifetime of learning and appreciation for the natural world
