TOCA - Forest School & Outdoor Preschool

About

TOCA runs year-round forest school and nature immersion in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Programs include outdoor preschool and playgroups (ages 2-5), after-school programs (5-10), school-holiday sessions, and full-week summer camps. Curriculum follows the forest school model — child-led exploration, hands-on nature engagement, and skills-building like fire-making, knot-tying, and shelter-building for older kids. Outdoor regardless of weather (within reason) so families need to commit to all-weather participation. Strong fit for kids who do best with movement-based, sensory-rich learning rather than seated indoor activities.
