If you're interested, it's also worth looking at Erin Kenny's book "Forest Kindergardens: The Cedarsong Way." She founded the first one in the Seattle area out on Vashon Island and has been the model for the others that have sprung up since then. My wife couldn't find one on Bainbridge Island where we until recently lived, so she just started an all weather outdoor group herself. People showed up in the summer and fall. In the middle of winter it was often just her and our two kids in full rain gear splashing around the beaches.
