Our values:
Fresh Air. We are outside everyday, year round. The children play and run breathing fresh air in their lungs and they come to embrace what Mother Nature provides us with whether that be sun, clouds, rain, or snow.
Experience. Children imagine, create and explore as they engage in unstructured play. It is through play they learn to self-regulate, assess situations, solve problems and take appropriate risks.
Trust. When children feel safe and comfortable their confidence grows and they believe in themselves and others. In Secret Forest Playschool’s loving and supportive environment children will be guided in ways that encourage them to develop trust in their own inner and outer worlds.
Wholeness. In a community where each child has a unique story and personality we provide a place where peace (happiness, love and safety) grows and the mind, body and spirit are nurtured. In a fast paced ever-changing world, we recognize that to meet the needs of the whole child we must slow down and be available to meet children where they are at in order to support them.
Every child that walks the paths of The Secret Forest or enters The Secret Garden is given permission to feel vulnerable and take safe risks in a loving environment. Through the seasons these children develop trusting relationships and a sense of ownership among the places they play in Mother Nature. It is because of these experiences that they have the opportunity to establish friendships and skills that carry them into their school years and beyond.
