About this company

Kids Love Nature have developed their own curriculum and approach to create synergy between indoor and outdoor learning. They believe emotional wellbeing and resilience are key to children leading happy, successful and purposeful lives. Our world is advancing more rapidly than ever before – technologically, economically, and socially – so who's to say that the jobs our children are being prepared for will even be around when they're old enough to do them? It's a little scary, and definitely food for thought. This is why we created Kids Love Nature. We feel deeply that an evolved, integrated approach to early years is needed to make the best of the future for everyone. At this critical stage of childhood, it's our mission to make every day extraordinary for as many children as we can.
