Kindergarten

  Forest and Nature Schools offer a wealth of benefits for kindergarten-aged children, supporting their development in ways that traditional classrooms often can’t.

1. Builds Confidence and Independence

Children engage in self-directed play and problem-solving, helping them develop resilience, decision-making skills, and a sense of independence.

2. Encourages a Love of Learning

By exploring nature, children develop curiosity, creativity, and a natural love for discovery, making learning exciting and meaningful.

3. Enhances Physical Health & Motor Skills

Outdoor play improves coordination, balance, and overall physical health while reducing the risks of childhood obesity and screen-time-related issues.

4. Strengthens Social and Emotional Skills

Working in small groups and navigating nature together helps children develop teamwork, communication, and emotional regulation skills.

5. Supports Cognitive Development

Hands-on, experiential learning fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

6. Reduces Stress and Anxiety

Time in nature is proven to lower stress levels, improve mood, and boost mental well-being, creating a calm and focused learning environment.

7. Develops a Strong Connection to Nature

Children learn to appreciate and respect the environment, fostering lifelong habits of sustainability and stewardship.

8. Aligns with the Ontario Curriculum

Explore Nature meets the key educational goals while enhancing them through real-world, play-based experiences.
