Secret Forest Playschool is a nature preschool that believes in building a community, with children and their families, that instills a lifelong love for play, a strong sense of self and a growing relationship with the natural world.
- Being a part of the Secret Forest Playschool community gives children and their families the opportunity to share experiences, struggles and successes. Having the ability to relate to others is what builds valuable friendships, and gives us a deeper sense of belonging.
- Play is prioritized at Secret Forest. Play is an activity that is freely chosen and is something you participate in because you find enjoyment in it. Play brings balance, health and happiness to our lives.
- Knowing and understanding yourself helps you relate to others. At Playschool children will learn self-regulation skills, gain self-confidence, develop their identity and become a self-advocate. When it is time for them to go beyond the Forest they will be well prepared.
- We must learn to respect and appreciate all that the natural world has to offer. Spending a significant amount of time playing, learning and growing in The Secret Forest helps children bond with the natural world that they are so much a part of.
