At Buttonbush Forest School, children ages 3–5 embark on a magical outdoor adventure—exploring the woods, splashing in the creek, and enjoying a cozy base camp cabin. Through our enriching partnership with Tuthill Farms, they experience hands-on learning with animals and nature, all within the beauty of a historic farm. Our high-quality, play-based approach nurtures curiosity, independence, and wonder, guided by passionate educators specializing in early childhood education, social-emotional development, and forest conservation.

Join us and give your child the gift of nature-based learning.

We celebrate our school community through seasonal gatherings that bring families together. These events are more than just celebrations—they're opportunities to connect, explore nature as a collective, and build lasting bonds that extend beyond the classroom. By sharing experiences and creating memories, we're nurturing a supportive network of families who are growing and learning together. From autumn harvests to winter adventures and spring renewals, these gatherings create lasting memories and strengthen our forest school community.
