Nature to Nurture Preschool

Our move and flow camp 🧘‍♂️ was filled with movement, berry picking, crafting and connection

Building and construction camp 🏕️ We had a few days of rain which didn’t get in our way! The kids geared up and we learned how to sand and prep our wood projects, practiced using hammer and nails, designing wooden snakes, finding spots to make teeter-totters in the woods, learning how to make a human pyramid, eating fresh veg and berries from the garden and so much more ✨ 🔨 🍓 🌧️ A huge thank you to our families for knowing and understating that we will be outdoors in all weather and packing a suitcase 🧳 for their kids daily!

Learning outdoors is a way of learning but it is also a way of being. The flow of our day, the flexibility and calmness that comes from not being restricted to 4 walls. We can use loud voices, running feet, jump, roll, and do so many natural habitual things children do on a regular basis and be free.. instead of being told to stop becusse we are indoors. Our goal is to guard and nurture their childhood 🌱 we take a Montessori approach leading with confidence, hands on learning and encouraging independence ✨

Crafting with nature is one our favourite things to do 🌼

Mindful Minis recap ✨ we dove into connection with ourselves, each other and our families. We created magic breathing wands, shared journal entries with families, crafted and painted nature pictures, did some group yoga games and ate veggies from the garden.

Blissful butterfly camp 🦋 we have spent time at the lake, we are learning about butterflies, we have done belly breathing with water balloons during our yoga flow, we are crafting with nature, we are horse jumpers, we have eaten strawberries from the garden and measured our height against the sunflowers 🌻 and so much more. By taking a blended approach of offering guided activities and free play we see creative play, relationship building, problem solving and trying new things. We love our days together 🦋 ✨

Spending time together in new locations! 🌞 Very grateful for our little community. A huge thank you to our families for being present with us as we go on these adventures and spending time with us as a group!

Took a trip to McKenzie trails where we explored trails, observed goslings, caught fish and used the climbers! 🌞

Little pieces of today ☀️ a slow sunny day making bird feeders, playing with ducks, homemade popsicles, yoga, mindful breathing and cloud gazing what more do you need?
