Valleyfield Joue Dehors
Located in Sallaberry-de-Valleyfield Region
The Forest School group brings together 8-10 children to play in nature one day a week. Kids get wide-open free play, with lots of opportunities for physical activity, mindfulness, learning, and friendship. Two teachers guide the group and help the children build confidence, leadership skills, and a respect and love for nature.
KAZE-NOKO Forest Preschool
Located in Verdun and NDG, Montreal
KAZE-NOKO Forest Preschool is offered by an educator, Yukiko Abe, who values a learning-through-play approach and dreams of sharing the joys of being outside with children and their families. When she met Verdun and NDG neighborhood parents who had a strong desire for their children to have more child-led learning experiences in our beautiful urban nature/outdoor settings, it was clear that we needed this project to come alive. We hope to raise children who are independent thinkers, problem solvers, and caring towards each other and our mother earth.
