Learning from nature
We understand the importance and value of learning out of doors, the deep sensory and spiritual pleasure children get from engaging with nature.

An Innovative Approach
Our vision is to create a unique educational environment where all children are respected as individuals, with life experiences and relationships that have influenced their development, rights, opinions and the quality of life to date. Children learn best when they feel safe, loved, cared for and are interested.
