Kids in our Outschool class wrote what they were thankful for on the leaves and created this beautiful natural piece of art 🍂🍃

In our hearts and minds, we hold a sacred space to honor and remember the Indigenous children who endured residential schools. We acknowledge the pain, trauma, and cultural erasure they endured, and we vow to never let their stories fade into the shadows of history. It is a day to reflect upon the injustices inflicted upon them and to recognize the resilience and strength of Indigenous communities. With deep respect, we seek to heal the wounds of the past and foster a future where their spirits are celebrated, their languages and traditions are preserved, and their communities thrive. As we remember, we also pledge to build a future of healing, understanding, and reconciliation, ensuring that the voices of those who suffered are heard and their experiences never forgotten 🧡

The first few weeks back in the forest have been magic and we have loved watching the kiddos spread their wings ✨

Tomorrow is our annual Field Day- invite is for past, present and future Wild Wonder families! We are so thankful to be able to gather together as a nature loving community. Reminder no classes on this day. See you there! Bateman Park lower field 4-6pm

Bright sunbeam sit spots. 💫

We love watching the children flourish these final months of forest school! The full cycle of the seasons bring to light the connections made. Even as the brilliance of spring stimulates energy and motion, May we all continue to slow down and sit spot. Stay steady friends. 🐌

Rego is officially OPEN for the Fall! Find the link in our bio that will lead you to our waiting pool for Forest School (Ages 3-5) & Outschool (Ages 5-12). If you have already jumped in, you are set! We will be contacting you throughout the month with class options, starting with those that have been swimming in that pool for the longest.

Happy trails and hope to touch base 🔜!
