What is Wild Child Nature School?

At our core, we believe that fostering a deep connection with nature is fundamental to a child's well-being and development. Our approach is inspired by the nature-based models of European and emerging American forest preschools.

Our mission is to nurture compassion, empathy, and a lifelong connection to the natural world.

Nature as the classroom

Immerse your child in the wonders of nature within Oakland and the Bay Area's stunning parks.

Our play-based curriculum, tailored for ages 4-9, fosters sensory development, creativity, and coordination through hands-on ecology lessons, hiking, fort building, creative arts, and ample free play time.
