What we do

We Are All Nature

Prairie People Nature Learning is about bringing the child back to nature, back to the home that has been forgotten in a world fixated on digital screens and technology. As parents, most of us can recall a childhood gathering around a campfire telling stories or catching frogs at our favourite pond. Your children will again be able to climb trees, jump in puddles, sculpt with mud and natural clay, count worms, roast an apple over a warm fire or find some shade under a tree to weave a bracelet to give to a friend.

How do we learn from nature?

All our programs cover the seven areas of the common curriculum. These include fine/gross motor skills, cognitive development, social/math/science, creative art, music/movement, and spiritual development. These are all occurring in spontaneous ways where the children’s inquiry and curiosity take the lead. The benefits of land-based nature exploration are priceless, and the learning is endless; greater respect for others and Mother Earth, connection with our own inner nature, more confidence in oneself, and especially the growth of heart!
