OUR VISION
Our vision is to create a supportive tribe where children have the space to explore their environment, themselves, and embrace learning.
We value creativity, free play, kindness and collaboration - taking a holistic approach to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. We approach learning core and life skills through unhurried, child-led activities.
Our approach, rooted in nature, fosters deep exploration, passion discovery, risk-taking, collaboration, and joy. Most of our days being spent outdoors where play, curiosity, sociability and independence thrive.
We empower our children, nurture their self-esteem and perseverance, and encourage self-exploration.
