At Wilder Learning North Durham, we offer nature-based programs for children ages 2-12, blending outdoor education with a holistic, child-centred curriculum.
Our approach draws from Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and Waldorf philosophies, emphasizing hands-on learning that supports intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth.
Children learn at their own pace, while aligning with provincial guidelines. They engage in play, exploration, and activities like creative arts, practical life skills, and hands-on science, fostering their natural curiosity and self-motivation. Our programs align with our mission to inspire a love of learning and deep connection with nature.
Sprouting with natural curiosity and wonder, our littlest learners embark on their journey of discovery. Designed for preschoolers, our program offers a warm and engaging environment where children develop a love for learning through play and nature exploration. New for 2024-2025 - Find out more here.
Our children root themselves in the deep connection they make with themselves, their learning and their community in a way that helps guide them to find their place in this world. This program focuses on building strong foundational skills through play-based, hands-on and nature-immersive activities. See our Curriculum
Once rooted, children begin to grow wings that allow them to soar into a greater world of understanding, passion, and a sense of purpose. This program for older learners encourages critical thinking, creativity, and leadership through nature and project-based learning. Coming Soon.
Spaces available in our Seedlings (Ages 2-4) and Roots (ages 4-7) classrooms for September 2024. Full and Part Time Available.
