Kiddie Capers Forest Classroom

Join our 10 month play-based program in the Friendly Forest for children aged 3-5 a perfect place to help children learn and grow while developing a deep connection to the natural world. Led by Tammy Williams, who brings 16 years of Preschool experience and 6 years of specialization in Nature Preschool, your child will thrive in our intentionally designed outdoor classroom, where nature itself becomes both teacher and playground. Young children learn through play and exploration, so we prioritize child-led activities where educators provide gentle guidance to foster social skills and independence. Each day begins with circle time, featuring stories, songs, counting and letter work. Teacher-led activities focus on art, science, and games to develop fine and gross motor skills, complemented by field trips and nature walks to instill an appreciation for our environment. Children must register for at least two days a week and must be 3 years old by October 31, 2026. In-person registration only. For more info contact Preschool Programmer: Ruth.smith@saanich.ca.
