Forest and Nature School programs are designed to connect children to nature. The curriculum is developed by observing children’s play. When themes emerge, we use inquiry-based learning to build knowledge or solutions. Children are encouraged to interact with nature with all their senses, develop socially, build curiosities about the world, find calm, be physically active, be stewards of the land, and be in nature in safe and age-appropriate ways.
Nature Club is an outdoor after-school program for Laura Secord students who are in Grades 1 – Grade 6 (ages 5-12). The program begins with Momenta staff meeting the children outside after school. The group then journeys to a nearby park in the neighbourhood for inquiry-based play. With the guidance of Momenta staff, there is a focus on relationship-building (to self, to each other, and outdoor spaces), risky play, and child-led discovery. Nature Club is a fun, meaningful way to increase physical activity, explore the community, and get outside!
