Forest Kindergarten training
Perth and Kinross Council in partnership with Perth College run a number of Forest Kindergarten training.
This qualification is run via learning materials which take a flipped classroom approach followed by an intense 3 (2) day outdoor experience.
This qualification meets the needs of practitioners who would like to set up regular off-site visits to a local wood or nearby green space for children in their care. The National Work-based Award in Forest Kindergarten at SCQF level 7 recognises the value of woodlands as an integral part of the learning process for children and covers the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to develop a forest kindergarten.
