Connecting Children With
Nature Through Outdoor Learning

We provide an inquiry-based, play-centered education in an outdoor setting for preschoolers. Our program offers four-hour experiential learning sessions where children explore and connect with the natural environment of Stanley Park and the wider Vancouver community.

All activities are thoughtfully designed to support the emotional and intellectual development of each child. By engaging in stimulating, hands-on learning experiences, children are encouraged to grow into curious, confident, and capable young learners.

Testimonials

"The instructors, Maria and Saige, are incredibly kind, patient and want the children to excel at their own pace. The program's communication is an incredible asset. (...)

I can't say enough good things but I will say, if you have any hesitancy about an outdoor program, I think you'd be very happy with Little Paws. (...)"
