Rewild Your Child Nature School Program has Preschool Spots Open Right. Now.

Rewild Your Child is one of the most incredible nature programs in the city, creating an outdoor preschool forest school experience all year round, outdoors. Developed for children aged 4-6, it’s an incredible program to complement a kindergarten program on the opposite days.

We’ve been part of this program, going on the third year and absolutely love the teaching, the play based program and the fact that our kids have become so resilient taking part in the program. It is the most highly recommended children’s program that we’ve taken part in, and I wish it would have been around the first time we were considering preschool opportunities in Sherwood Park and Edmonton area. The value, the connection with the earth, the land and the teachers - it’s been an incredible experience to watch our preschooler attend and grow, season after season.

Registration is available now for the part-time program that includes Monday and Wednesdays, 9-2, or Tuesday to Thursdays 9-2. As part of Rewild Your Child, you can expect:

- Themed weeks based off of the season/weather
- Emergent learning curriculum
- Loose parts, open-ended activities and games
- Following the BGC core values (Belonging, Respect, Encouragement and Support, Working Together, Speaking Out)
- Personalized child interest updates (your child's nature journey)
- A sense of community and supportive environment
- Constant risk assessments due to the ever-changing outdoor environment

What’s the cost? The program has a monthly cost of $250. You’ll need to send a lunch and snack, but there are no other fees required above the program cost.
