SOL Forest School — Local services in Albuquerque

Tree Tots for little ones under 3 years was amazing!! I was on the fence about joining at 10 months because I thought babe was a bit young. But took the leap and had absolutely no regrets! The space is safe for the kids to really play without having to “guard” them all the time from sharp rocks and garbage etc found in other parks. They all seem to really enjoy it and have fun interacting with each other. Baby occasionally has stranger fear but that all seems to disappear at tree tots as the environment is so chill and relaxed.

They have safety principles that they review with the kids so everyone knows how to play and explore safely. We've had a great experience with SOL and would recommend their sessions to anyone looking for an outdoor...

For reals, this forest school is the greatest thing we did for our little “treeschooler”. The teachers (forest guides) are knowledgeable, wise, kind, and do a fantastic job helping the class learn important life skills, social skills, how to be safe outside and most importantly how to care for our Earth and enjoy her 😊 we drove ~40 mins each way every week to come to this school and it was absolutely worth it. Year round schooling is so good for building resilience and grit and I definitely noticed my child feeling more comfortable/steady in challenging environments & situations. 10/10 would recommend this school!!
