We gather at the entrance to the forest or as the excitement slowly spreads among us. Birds are chirping, a gentle breeze moves over the hills, and boots cheerfully seek out puddles. The forest is here, the equipment is ready, and our goal is to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of every member of our group. Before we start, we come together to check how everyone is feeling and what they would like to explore during the day in nature. We introduce new ideas and encourage them to seek our help whenever needed. The forest environment is like a blank canvas, full of textures and materials that enrich the senses and inspire us to explore and learn together. As guides, we have a plan for the day if students request it, but it is equally important for us to encourage them to choose their own path. During this time of exploration and discovery, our role is to provide support when needed, while also encouraging them to face challenges and find meaning in their experiences. Through reflection and conversation, we listen to their stories and acknowledge their emotions. Our day flows naturally, developing through interactions, individual interests, and guidance that introduces new ways to explore the space and relationships within it. Through observation and mentorship, guides recognize how they can shape experiences that will leave a lasting impression while also acknowledging the impact that time has on themselves. Guides carefully allow students to take on challenges, linking these experiences to comprehensive development—whether social, physical, intellectual, communicative, emotional, or spiritual. We conclude our time with reflection, looking back at the experiences and emotions of each group member, sharing insights, and recognizing the uniqueness of each individual. Our aim is for every member of the community to feel their value and to identify ways we can support their personal development and connection with nature and the community.

How to dress your child: As we are outside for a large part of the day, it is important to dress the children according to the weather conditions. In warm days light clothes, in colder multi-layered ones. Dress them in clothes that can get dirty. For winter days: tights/leggings, another pair of pants on the top, short t-shirts and long sleeves, a sweatshirt/sweater and a winter jacket. Warm shoes. Gloves, hat, scarf. In case of rain or snow: waterproof rain/ski clothes, and waterproof shoes, so the little one's can experience being outdoors in all weather conditions without hindrance. What to bring: - Rucksack - a water bottle - change of clothes - spare socks, panties, pants, T-shirt and sweatshirt - house shoes

School meals include a variety of vegetables, a nutritionally rich lunch, and refreshing, healthy drinks. All food at school is plant-based. For a snack we usually have fresh and dried fruits and vegetables (in season from our garden), nuts, seeds, wholemeal biscuits, chrono bars, homemade wholemeal bread, and fresh spreads... Lunch is prepared by Mama Goga, a lover, and expert in the preparation of balanced, tasty, and varied plant-based food, and meals include soup or broth, main course, whole wheat bread, salad, and dessert. For drinks with meals, we have spring water, homemade teas from Fruška, freshly squeezed juices, smoothies, plant milks, and yogurt (from nuts and seeds).

We spend time on the family estate, in a spacious yard filled with purposefully designed nooks and equipped with educational materials that inspire inner curiosity and invite play, exploration, connection, and natural learning. We also have an indoor space for colder days, within the warm atmosphere of the family home, equipped with educational materials and areas for play, dining, and relaxation. We spend time in the forest of Fruška Gora and visit other interesting natural and social places, so the space (and atmosphere) of the school travels with us wherever we go. :)
