Specializing in Meaningful Childhood Memories

At Childhood Connect, we offer nature-based programs for children, families, and the professionals who support them. Rooted in relationships and inspired by the land, our work nurtures curiosity, well-being, and growth whether you're a child exploring the forest, a caregiver connecting through play, or an educator seeking meaningful professional learning. We believe learning thrives when it’s led by wonder, supported by community, and grounded in care. We grow best when we grow together!

For Families & Children

Our nature enriched programs invite children to explore, play, and discover at their own pace in small groups of explorers. With skilled educators guiding the way, children develop confidence, resilience, and joy while forming deep connections with the natural world and the people around them.

We also lead Connection Duo programs offering shared outdoor experiences for caregivers and children to explore together. These sessions are rooted in relationship-building, allowing adults to slow down, tune in, and discover new ways of connecting with their children through nature, exploration and play.

Whether you're joining a seasonal learning pod, a forest adventure day, or seeking connection with your child, you'll find a warm, inclusive space where your family is seen and supported.

For Educator Teams

We support early years professionals, schools, and organizations through workshops and learning experiences that are experiential, reflective, and rooted in current best practice. From co-constructing curriculum to navigating group dynamics and supporting educator well-being, we help teams reconnect to their purpose to lead with clarity, compassion and confidence.

If you’re seeking meaningful professional development grounded in nature, equity, creative expression and deep learning - you’ve found your people!

Why Both Paths Matter Here

At Childhood Connect, we see children, families, and educators as part of the same learning village. When we care deeply for the people guiding our children and honour the wisdom of the children themselves, whole communities grow stronger. Whether you’re a parent, a facilitator, or a leader shaping early learning, our work is grounded in the same values of connection, curiosity, equity, and care.
