Why Forest School?
Eunoia provides children with confidence and courage to learn and grow in a space that is very different than most learning opportunities today. This style of learning provides children with the courage and education to take safe-risks and push boundaries that are in a child's Zone of Proximal Development.
Social skills develop as children engage in group problem-solving strategies that create connections to their world. Navigating new terrain allows children to build strong gross- and fine-motor abilities allowing them to trust themselves and push their own boundaries. Eunoia mentors engage children to build their language and mathematic skills using the natural world and materials that are provided.
Environmental sustainability is a key component to the learning that occurs at Eunoia. Children learn a greater appreciation for the world and how to be respectful of their learning by using materials respectfully and returning them to the natural space.
In light of Covid, Eunoia provides children with a socialized, outdoor, learning space where they will continue to thrive.
Our Philosophy
Eunoia Forest School is an educational learning experience in Durham Region where children are encouraged to develop self-esteem, confidence, and independence, through inquiry-based opportunities in the natural environment. Children learn to explore hands-on activities that are based on their interest and discoveries. Their questions lead the inquiry, and Eunoia Forest School mentors guide each child by providing resources and opportunities.

Our children's programs are designed to support each individual child in their natural curiosity of the world around them. Programs occur outside in all types of weather. Children are encouraged to explore their environment by using natural materials to investigate change, build forts, fires, and dams, and promote learning across all developmental areas.
