Our Story
Wild Wonders started as a small seed of an idea—a dream to bring families with little ones together and to create a space where learning could be as free and joyful as childhood itself. After years in the classroom, our founder, Nicole longed to teach again, but in a way that allowed for freedom, curiosity, and connection all while being outdoors.
​
What began as a handful of families exploring, playing, and discovering together has blossomed into a fast-growing community. In our very first season in Fall 2024, 24 little explorers filled our classes, and by the next season, we had a waitlist!
​
Today, each season welcomes over 60 children and their families to the greatest classroom of all—the outdoors. Wild Wonders is no longer just a program; it’s a place where families find connection, where children’s curiosity comes alive, and where we all slow down to soak in the wonder around us.
​
We can’t wait to welcome your family into this special story we’re still writing together.
Our Philosophy
At Wild Wonders, we believe children are natural learners, brimming with curiosity and wonder. When they’re given the freedom to explore, ask questions, and follow their interests, their learning becomes joyful, meaningful, and lasting.
​
Our approach is child-led—every class is designed to spark curiosity and encourage exploration rather than follow a rigid plan. If a child’s attention is drawn to a crawling bug, a rustling tree, or a muddy puddle, we see those moments as the real lessons of the day. Nature sets the stage, but the children’s curiosity leads the way.
​
We believe in slowing down, getting messy, and creating a space where families can witness their children discover the world on their own terms, building confidence, creativity, and connection along the way.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a nature-based learning community where children and families can:
-
Learn and explore through curiosity-led experiences.
-
Build strong family connections through shared outdoor adventures.
-
Develop a deep love and respect for the natural world.
-
Celebrate each child’s unique way of learning and growing.
Our Vision
At Wild Wonders, our vision is to see every child grow up with a deep sense of wonder, confidence, and connection to the natural world. We dream of creating a movement where families slow down, step outside, and rediscover the beauty of learning through curiosity, play, and togetherness.
We envision Wild Wonders as more than classes—it’s a growing community where little explorers lead the way, their questions shaping the day’s adventures. By nurturing curiosity, creativity, and a love for nature, we hope to inspire a generation that values simplicity, stewardship, and the joy of discovering life’s small wonders.
