Curious and Kind Education empowers children to learn about themselves, others and nature while developing their minds and bodies.
We reimagined education! Our nature-based education program was inspired by the forest school concept to keep the flame of learning alive for children. At Curious and Kind, every child is valued, cherished, and encouraged to embrace the joy of getting a little muddy.
We are looking for great people to be prepared to grow the team soon. If you love children, nature and learning, we would love to hear from you!
Curious and Kind offers a unique blend of forest school principles intertwined with the agile learning centers model, creating an environment that is both child-led and structured to nurture projects. Ideal for families seeking a flexible alternative to traditional schooling, our early childhood education program caters to those who prioritize outdoor experiences while also including nature-based curriculum. We provide a supportive space where children can explore, learn, connect and grow at their own pace, fostering curiosity and kindness along the way.

This movement stems from a desire for our children to have healthy holistic educational opportunities. The approaches allows for extended periods of self-directed learning and playing which naturally includes exploration and risk-taking. This type of learning results in strong bodies, balanced minds & an abundance of confidence.
