RELATIONSHIP OF RESPECT
Our curriculum is rooted in a deep respect for children and their families. We believe that children are capable learners with a natural desire to form meaningful connections with nature and community.
NATURE LEADS THE WAY
By supporting children’s growth and learning through playful, meaningful and direct contact with the earth, The Nature School fosters children’s understanding of their own gifts and potential, their inherent membership in the interconnected communities of the earth, and the power they hold to steward and shape a world of kindness and justice.
HANDS-ON PLAY
With thoughtfully crafted invitations that emerge from the children’s questions, ideas, strengths and challenges, children at The Nature School engage in a curriculum that follows their curiosity, integrates all their senses, promotes mindfulness, and encourages cooperation - all while building the skills and confidence they need for their next steps.
SUPPORTIVE SOCIAL LEARNING
We expertly weave play, creative expression, deep nature connection and community engagement, to strengthen children’s sense of self, sense of belonging, and sense of responsibility to our human and more-than-human world.
