Through exploration and discovery

Nature-based activities awaken the child’s senses, mind and heart. Helping them to express their feelings, ideas, thoughts and urges. Enabling children to better understand their deep-rooted connection with nature and one another in ways that are fun and encourage them to explore and celebrate their unique sense of creativity.
