welcome to
Maya Forest Preschool
Maya Forest Preschool Manila is the first Deped recognised forest preschool in the country. Formerly Escuela Legarda, Maya Forest Preschool Manila decided to take advantage of its one hectare enclosed natural forest surrounding the school. Situated in the heart of Sampaloc, Manila, the forest is a safe and convenient place for children to have the opportunity to be one with nature, have the space to run and climb, and to learn in an environment which supports all aspects of their learning.

Forest Pods
The Forest Pods program is an additional program to the Forest Kits Bridge Program. It is our face-to-face Forest Sessions where the child is enrolled for the month. Outdoor, authentic, interactive and experiential learning will take place for a class of 10 with two teachers in a 6,000 sqm completely outdoor campus located at Balic-Balic, Sampaloc, Manila. Forest Pods will be on-going for as long as NCR is under Alert Level 2. The enrolment and reservation of slots for this will be done monthly.
School Year 2022 - 2023
Our Bridge Program
The MFP-Bridge Program is a distance learning program where our students will receive a Forest Kit every month. Each Forest kit contains 40+ themed activities good for the month which parents can do with their children at their own time, pace, and routine. These kits also come with online ClassMeets, playdates, and access to teacher-made videos and StoryTime sessions. At the end of the Bridge Program, students will be receiving a certificate of completion and will have other school programs throughout the year. Kinder students will be registered at DEPED and will be assigned a Learner’s Registration Number (LRN)
