Nature's Access Programs

Each day usually begins with a welcome circle, along with a short day outline and safety briefing. The rest of the day is filled with a mix of guided group activities and free play where each child can safely follow their individual interests and discoveries.

Our programming provides opportunities to build forts, make nature art, discover seasonal changes, learn to identify plants, trees and bugs; and experience a powerful connection with the land.

Sessions are held regularly in the same outdoor location allowing children to build familiarity with the space growing in confidence over time.

Safety, respect and the emotional well being for each other is central to everything we do. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where your child thrives and grows at their own pace while immersed in a nature.

Beginning in Fall 2026, we will be offering both full-time and part-time Forest School programs for children aged (3-7).
