LBDK,z.s. is founder of the legal entity forrest kindergarten Studanka that provides formal education for children of preschool age. LBDK, z.s. is a forest kindergarten that holds activities for children almost exclusively outdoors. Whatever the weather, children are encouraged to play, explore and learn in a forest or natural environment. The adult supervision is meant to assist rather than lead. The day care staff and children spend their time outdoors, typically in a forest. A distinctive feature of forest kindergartens is the emphasis on play with objects that can be found in nature. LBDK,z.s is here to care for, stimulate, and educate young children.

LBDK, z.s as a non for profit organization further runs non formal education for primary school children.

LBDK aim to provide children, staff, volunteers and parents closeness and freedom with nature, deepening the exploration and connection with self and the environment. Create a positive ethos that is reflected in all interactions with one another and the environment, supporting and cultivating respect for the world and others, through mindfulness and compassion. Offer a spacious, challenging, creative play and learning environment. Support the development of the individual and creative expression. Nurture the child's full potential in conversations and interactions.

Cultivate positive relationships within the immediate and larger community. Promote health and wellbeing through physical and emotional resilience, healthy eating (cooking vegetarian food), healthy minds. This is achieved by encouraging: active and reflective time outdoors with the opportunity to look, listen, touch, smell and taste all that nature offers. Of course, free and independent play as well.
