About Free Range Kids RFV

Our philosophy is simple. Let little people be little for as long as they can. Let them have fun, get dirty, touch everything, be inquisitive... ask as many questions as they can think of, and introduce them to new activities and inspire them to love and forever play in the outdoors. Free Range Kids is inspired by the European Forest School and Reggio Philosophies. Unlike a traditional preschool, Free Range operates exclusively outdoors. Children engage and learn in and from the natural environment. Children guide their own experiences and learning based on their particular interests. Free Range Kids focuses on pre- academic skill development. These include critical thinking skills, problem-solving, and building social and emotional competence. There are many unique parts to our program, one in particular, is the integration of animals. We have a horse that is a full-time employee. As an ex-therapy pony he is as wonderful as wonderful gets. At the farm we will garden, learn about the animals, and how to care for them. We try to make everyday as fun as possible by exploiting everything the Roaring Fork Valley has to offer your children.

Both my boys ages 4 & 5 attended Free Range Kids RFV over the summer and we all absolutely loved the experience. It was the perfect type of summer care and I don’t think I could have scheduled their days better myself than what Ms. Shelley had planned for them on the daily. My kiddos have attended quite a few of the daycare programs in this valley and Free Range Kids RFV was by far the most interactive type of play we’ve experienced. They traveled by bus to the Hot Springs pool, explored different parks, were exposed to multiple kinds of outdoor activities such as kayaking, horse riding, swimming and safely playing in the river. Ms. Shelley put me at ease when leaving them in her care, as those transitions can sometimes be difficult for us moms and I felt like they were well taken care of by her. My boys are very close in age and have a lot of energy that feeds off one another, and that was something we had to adjust to, but Ms. Shelley was up for the challenge and never backed down and let them run the show. The daycare center also provides breakfast, lunch and snacks, which doesn’t get much better than that! My boys had a wonderful summer experience there and got to try lots of new things that kept them busy and having fun with Ms. Shelley!
