The Cedarsong Way®
History of The Cedarsong Way
As co-founder of Cedarsong Nature School with Robin Rogers in 2007, Erin Kenny successfully established the first U.S. Forest Kindergarten, a gold standard model of an entirely outdoor preschool, based on the German Waldkindergartens. The Cedarsong Way nature immersion pedagogy emerged from their experiences.
Erin attended study conferences in Germany, the Netherlands, S. Korea, Scotland, Australia and Iceland to further her understanding about the Forest Kindergarten philosophy, which includes elements drawn from Frederich Froebel, Rudolf Steiner, Maria Montessori and the Reggio Emilia program. Erin also spoke at conferences in North America, Australia, Europe and Asia to inspire and empower others. She authored the seminal book, Forest Kindergartens: The Cedarsong Way, and released two other books, Nature Notes Journal: Documenting Your Emergent Curriculum and Teaching the Cedarsong Way: Lessons from an award-winning Forest Kindergarten, both co-written with Robin Rogers. Erin also contributed a chapter to David Sobel’s book, Nature Preschools and Forest Kindergartens.
