About this course

  • This training program is designed for anyone who cares deeply about helping children grow through meaningful connections with Nature. It consists of four modules, each dedicated to one season. Connecting with the seasons is highly beneficial for living in harmony and adopting a wise, balanced rhythm. Children will gain limitless benefits from an education rooted in the cycles of the year. Each season offers a unique aspect of Nature to explore—from bright sunshine to snow, colorful leaves to bare trees, blooming flowers to seeds flying in the wind, hibernating animals to the birth of their young. This eternal cycle of Nature and its wonders provides endless discoveries while serving as a stable, reassuring foundation for children. Furthermore, Nature needs humans to take better care of it—and we can only protect what we know. What is learned as a child becomes second nature! For each season, you will find 10 activities to do with young children, complete with the necessary materials and step-by-step instructions. These workshops are accessible to everyone. Whether they are artistic, hands-on, playful, or culinary, they allow children to fully immerse themselves in each season. You will also find general guides that are useful all year round. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, educator, or teacher, now is the time to fill your reservoir of educational tools to share with the children in your life! We wish you wonderful and joyful experiences!

Meet the creator

Caroline

I am Caroline, and for 10 years, I have been offering a “school in the woods” for children. After extensive experience in teaching and youth programs, it became clear to me that Nature must be at the forefront of children’s education—not only in the activities offered but also in areas like nutrition and health. I am the author of the book “L’école dans les bois – une pédagogie pour les jeunes enfants”, which reflects my passion for education. Children—just like Nature—deserve our understanding and protection so they can thrive as joyfully and abundantly as possible! In my work, I draw much inspiration from Steiner pedagogy, which is rooted in spiritual wisdom and helps to restore a sense of the sacred in our relationship with children and education. Educating children means moving toward a future we wish to build: it is not only necessary and essential but also exciting and creative!
