Portrait Waldkinder St. Gallen

Welcome to the forest - Welcome to the Waldkinder St. Gallen.
Here, the children learn in, with and from nature - and in harmony with it. The unstructured material, the season, plants, trees and animals as well as the children's interests determine the thematic content each day. Our experienced and well-trained adult education team will pass on their experience to you 1:1: from practice for practice. Learning in nature has been happening at Waldkinder St. Gallen for over 20 years: From forest crèche to full-time forest school up to 2nd grade, the focus is on the child with its abilities and nature. This experience also forms the basis for adult education: you will learn about our pedagogical approach to forest children's education in the course and acquire a broad basic knowledge of working in the forest with children between the ages of 2 and 9. Everything 100% outdoors - naturally in nature! How do we make forest children's education come alive? Choose the format that suits you: the modular course "Nature and forest children's education" as well as specialist and in-depth modules of 3 days each. So that learning with children in nature succeeds - with a well-filled rucksack of experience and practice!

Come to Waldkinder St. Gallen and enjoy continuing education, further training that is personally and professionally enriching.
