Why is forest and nature learning so important for children?

Research shows that spending time outside boosts happiness and immune system.

It supports academic success and it also provides endless opportunities to connect with others, our wonderful Mother Earth and self.

Nature Kids Community is emergent and play based forest and nature school.

“The Earth has music

for those who listen.”

– William Shakespeare
