Child Nature Connect

Child Nature Connect We play outside every day! We instil adults and children with an understanding that we are all human beings first.

Dufferin Grove park anchors our adventures-free play, discovery, friendship, hands on learning, promoting meaningful engagement with nature, one another & our community. We believe that children learn best when encountering the world through play and discovery and that taking time to play and engage with nature benefits everyone age 1 to 101, and supports physical and mental well being. We provide an environment that offers educational opportunities through free-play and inquiry-driven learning; Opportunities for city kids and their trusted adults, parents & caregivers to connect with the natural landscape. When we engage with one another compassionately we can work together to solve problems, find strategies & meet every individual’s needs; both child and adult. Caregiver, Family & Kids Programs are provided year round. Parenting Support, courses, workshops, childcare, and playgroups in Toronto's parks, green spaces, and near urban environments.
