Valleyfield Joue Dehors
With Cleo Kesidis
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. Located in Sallaberry de Valleyfield.
KAZE-NOKO Forest Preschool
With Yukiko
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. Located in Verdun & NDG.
Groovegarten Music
With Alana Cosgrove
Groovegarten Music was created to cultivate the musical connection that parents and caregivers innately have with their children. Led by classically trained singer, songwriter and actor, Alana Cosgrove, classes are filled with singing, movement, instrument exploration and more! Located in Hudson.
We offer classes for babies, mixed-mixed groups and big kids - all designed to enhance their musicality and help them along the path to being life-long music lovers and music makers. With a focus on play and exploration rather than formal learning methods, children are encouraged to embody sound and rhythm at an early age in an authentic and joyful way.
