“Putting my son in the Sprouts program at this forest school has been the best decision I’ve made for him. He absolutely loves learning outdoors with Stef and the other kids, and it’s been such a joy to see him so engaged and excited every day. I really appreciate how the program encourages the children to be kids—exploring, playing, and connecting with nature in a way that’s both fun and educational. We’re so grateful for this program and will definitely continue to be a part of it for years to come!”

“My husband and I are incredibly grateful for our 3-year-old son's time with Stef at Nurtured by Nature Forest School. The supportive and adventurous environment has helped him grow in ways we never imagined. He’s become more confident, independent, and passionate about nature. The hands-on learning and exploration have sparked his curiosity and creativity, teaching him valuable life skills and fostering a deep respect for the environment.

Stef’s dedication and genuine love for teaching shine through in every interaction. She goes above and beyond to create meaningful experiences tailored to each child's interests and needs. Her enthusiasm is contagious, inspiring the children to embrace learning with joy and enthusiasm.

What sets Nurtured by Nature apart is the unique and enriching experiences that a regular school simply can't provide. The immersive outdoor setting and personalized approach have made a world of difference in our son's development.

We wholeheartedly recommend Nurtured by Nature to any parent seeking a transformative and enriching experience for their child. The memories and skills our son has gained are invaluable. Thank you, Stef, for providing such a magical and impactful experience.”

“My son Spencer loves spending time with Stef. Spencer has a developmental and behavioural disorder that can make it difficult to leave him with just anyone but Stef is highly qualified to handle children like my son and she’s very patient with him making sure he is safe and always having fun. Spencer loves playing in the outdoor kitchen, learning about plants and animals on their nature walks and being creative with the many activities Stef makes available. For example: nature walks, whittling, learning to play the ukulele, and art . I’ve really seen such a positive effect on him and he loves spending time with Stef because he knows he’s going to do something fun! She is so amazing with him and I’m thankful to have her in our lives! “

“Stef is easy to work with and great with the children. I would rather have one of her than three others!”
