Our outdoor Preschool is one of a kind. Children are encouraged to let curiosity lead their explorations and discoveries. We are guided by four tenets:  I am Capable; I am part of the Environment; I am part of a Culture; and I am Curious. These beliefs provide a strong sense of self and the ability to discover intrinsic motivation, develop conflict resolution skills, connect to their environment, be conscious and respectful of others, build confidence, and most importantly to practice emotional and social skills appropriate for this stage of development, through what kids do best - PLAY.

Financial assistance available. We accept ACCESS (childcare government subsidies )

Pop Up Play Days are our own specialized community programs to inspire children's self-directed play, using loose parts. Children in these settings have the opportunity to think big, create big, problem-solve,  get motivated and socialize with a multi- aged group.  Families that attend observe their children playing their way; innovating, exploring and most importantly - having a blast!

After a full day of school children get to be in control of a microcosm of their world. All day long the children need to listen. This is a part of their day where they are being listened to and heard. Children need  time and space where they are in charge of their play based on their interests and motivations to practice and develop a sense of self. Children of all ages come together and create, explore, inspire others and discover. They learn that they are capable and a part of a children’s directed community! 

An outdoor program for grownups and their infants and toddlers to discuss the trials and tribulations of parenthood. In this program we meet at parks and bring the children materials to explore while showing the parents how to allow children led growth, while creating a community of parents and caregivers in a similar place in their lives.
