Core Values

The earth teaches us that everything is interconnected. So, our core values are centered around compassionate relationships. Those that we have with ourselves, one another, the earth, our animals and our communities. We envision a loving world full of people who can develop the skills and openness we need to build healthy relationships.

Philosophy

We understand that we are all born as whole, capable people who are inherently interconnected yet come into the world with authentically unique purposes. The work of whole-heartedly walking through childhood with a child, and guiding them toward their authenticity is no small task. We do this in community; with the earth, educators, families, children, and the communities around us. Our core values are inspired by the forest preschool model and influenced by a few additional ideologies: anthroposophy, a relationship model of care, interconnectedness, and our intuitive experiences with children throughout the years. We believe that when children care for an animal and our earth the seeds of compassion and feeling of importance are planted. We aim to include our students even at a young age to engage in meaningful activities that leaves them feeling capable and confident. We harness the power of children, nature and education to contribute to a more loving, compassionate world.

Mission & Vision

Our mission is to spread love and compassion through outdoor education.

Our vision is to encourage a future generation that has a healthy and compassionate relationship with our earth and other human communities.
