Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

As a community, The Forager School is guided by a child-centered philosophy that puts play at the heart of everything we do. Located in rural Northern California we are devoted to fostering a deep connection between young children and the natural world. We embrace the idea that nature provides a rich and dynamic environment for learning, exploration, and growth.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Forager School is a play-based preschool for children 2 to entry into first grade. We serve families on the Sonoma and Mendocino coast from Stewarts Point to Gualala, California.

  • The Forager School achieved nearly full enrollment by the end of the 2023-2024 year, serving roughly 20 students. The Forager School has made a positive presence in the local community, bringing quality preschool services with a focus on outdoor education and exploration.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
