...it's been a wonderful experience for our family. Every friday, my children come
home excited to share their adventures and new discoveries. Mikel and Jess are fantastic with the kids. It's clear they genuinely care about each child. We love Tideview Nature School and highly recommend it.

I started my daughter in forest school in March to supplement preschool. Forest school quickly turned into a favorite, and my daughter would ask “how many days until forest school?” or get excited when we drove by the “forest school parking lot”. Although my daughter has always been a lover of the outdoors, especially in the colder seasons forest school helped build her endurance for spending more time outdoors during family camping trips. The instructors Jessie and Mikei are fantastic and provided pictures of outdoor activities such as mud painting, and nest building. In this day and age when everything thing is so fast paced I think it’s so important for kids to slow down and learn more about nature around them.

My daughter has attended tideview with a small group once weekly since around February 2024.
At the Cole harbour location, and now the point pleasant park location. We love it. We had a rough experience with pre primary and are grateful for this option.
I believe there's ages 3-5 and 5-8 listed online as they're now expanding. My daughter is about to be 5 and will continue in the program!
