Every day is different than the others; sometimes we help making the fire or chopping wood, measuring, sometimes we choose to build dens, ladders to help us climb trees, make boats for our flooded stream, paint, cut, cook (in the mud kitchen or in the real fire!), or simply hang around observing nature’s actions in silence or while chatting away. Endless possibilities are formed in an organic way.

Taking risks, be physical, cognitive, or emotional, in an integral part of our program. The children at our Nursery are invited to take risks; building obstacle courses to challenge their skills, learning how to use tools, fire making, finding own boundaries and expressing boundaries to their friends while staying safe.

Our garden boasts a compost toilet with changing facilities, several potties, a child toilet seat and a step to encourage toileting independence. We also have an outdoor kitchen that we can use both for food preparation and for doing arts and crafts while looking at the tree tops from the neighbourhood. The garden has a spacious and incredibly cosy wooden cabin with a clean and effective wood burner; the children help set up the fire every morning in the cold days while others help themselves to books and drawing under warm and cosy lights.
