Above all, children are inherently good, capable, and curious.
Nature-Immersive: The forest is our classroom. Children engage with the natural world daily, building a deep sense of connection and stewardship.
Community: With kindness and empathy as the foundation of our learning culture, children learn to trust and value not just one another but also themselves, their inner voice and natural instincts.
Child-Led Learning: We follow children's interests and sense of wonder through emergent curriculum and project-based inquiry. Autonomy fuels intrinsic motivation and lifelong learning.
Risk as Growth: Safe, supported risk-taking helps children develop confidence, independence, resilience and real-world problem-solving skills.
Project-based Experiences: Hands-on learning builds 21st century skills like creativity and critical thinking.
Holistic Education: We recognize each child as a unique individual, honoring their voice and emotional landscape. We support whole child development - social, emotional, spiritual, physical and intellectual.
