Rooted in Nature. Guided by Wonder.🌱

Children deserve the chance to grow, explore, and fall in love with learning—all while building a meaningful connection with the natural world around them.

That's why we've created programs where childhood is celebrated, curiosity leads the way, and every day is filled with fresh air, muddy boots, big adventures, and plenty of room to play, explore, laugh and grow.

🌱

  • Our 3-5 Year Old Program - Perfect for littles and big kids who are ready to follow their curiosity, climb trees, splash in puddles, make friends and every day celebrate in the joy of being a child

  • Kindergarten Readiness – A special experience designed for our up and coming kindergarteners who love adventures, big projects, and hands-on fun that keeps them learning and exploring.

With our home base in the heart of Fernwood, community is also at the heart of what we do.

Our Programs

All our programs are run by highly qualified and passionate educators who believe children learn best through hands-on experiences, curiosity and time spent exploring the world around them.

Our 3-5 Program

At Seedlings Forest School, we believe childhood is meant to be full of wonder, adventure, and muddy boots. Our child-led, play-based, nature-inspired program gives children the freedom to explore, imagine, ask questions, and discover the world at their own pace. We follow their curiosity, knowing that the most meaningful learning happens when children are engaged, excited, and truly connected to what they're doing.

Every day is a new adventure! Whether they're climbing logs, building forts, digging in the mud, creating with natural materials, searching for bugs, splashing in puddles, or noticing the first signs of a new season, children are developing confidence, resilience, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning without even realizing it.

Our caring, certified Early Childhood Educators thoughtfully guide each day, creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported to take healthy risks, solve problems, build friendships, and grow into capable, confident learners. We believe every child is naturally curious and full of potential, and there's nothing more rewarding than watching that confidence bloom through meaningful connections to themselves, their peers and the world around them!

At Seedlings, we're not just spending time outside-we're creating joyful childhood memories, fostering a deep connection with the natural world, and supporting our explorers in their ability to be life long learners.

Kindergarten Readiness

Did you know that at Seedlings we have KINDIE CLUB!

Kindie Club is an exciting part of our program! Twice a week, our friends who will be heading to Kindergarten in the fall come together as their own special group. Through fun, engaging activities, they build friendships, grow their confidence and practice important kindergarten-ready skills to get them excited for the big adventure ahead.

Kindie Club helps make the transition to Kindergarten a fun, familiar, and positive experience our Seedlings.

From early literacy and numeracy to fine motor skills, problem-solving, listening, independence, and working together, every activity is thoughtfully planned to help children feel ready for kindergarten while still keeping the joy and wonder of childhood at the heart of it all.

Our goal isn't just to prepare children for kindergarten -it's to help them walk through those school doors feeling confident, capable, and proud of who they are. Watching their excitement grow, their independence blossom, and their confidence shine is one of our favourite parts of the year. We love celebrating this special milestone alongside our Seedlings families and sending each child off knowing they're ready for all the amazing adventures that lie ahead.
