This child-directed play-based program will provide experiences that foster a growing relationship with the natural world. Through DISCOVERY, HEALTHY RISK-TAKING and MESSY FUN, participants will deepen their connection with nature, problem-solve and build on age-appropriate social skills. Our WHOLE-CHILD approach will provide an ideal learning environment.
Located within the Town of Cochrane, close to the mighty Bow River and only a short drive from Calgary, Bearspaw and Springbank.  Our location gives us access to forests, meadows and lagoons to discover and play in.
