Our Philosophy

All humans flourish when immersed in the natural world. We become aware of our rhythm and function in our environment. Young humans in particular benefit from being in nature. It promotes awareness of self, mental and physical well-being as well as facilitating the building blocks of early learning, curiosity, questioning, resilience, risk assessment and collaboration. Our program provides the guidance and boundaries necessary to give children stability and safety. This will foster child led exploration and play, creating an environment where children learn to think for themselves and treat all living things with care. We will be entirely outside year-round in all weather (except extreme temperatures and thunderstorms). We will be climbing trees, learning fire safety and using tools. Our walks through the forest won't be about getting to a destination but what you can learn on the journey.
