In order for children to feel like they belong and have a voice within a society - we need to acknowledge that we are equals, looking at the world through different lenses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606e8b351fe03e62be6ff3da/691e2414-f9de-4c3f-a7be-605f25cd90a1/Kollektive-80.jpg About - Child inspired - Adult led When children’s needs are met - that’s when the magic happens. That is when the co-learning begins. Through the use of mindful observations, reflections on the children’s interests and proposals of different provocations that expand those interests - adults and children are able to engage on a learning journey together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606e8b351fe03e62be6ff3da/968f36f6-2186-49de-adf3-fcbccdbe92c3/Kollektive+Central-42.jpg About - The Great Outdoors “When children play in natural spaces, they’re far more likely to invent their own games than in more structured settings – a key factor in becoming self-directed and inventive adults later in life” ~Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods There are TOO many reasons to count why it is vital that children get adequate time in nature (it promotes confidence, teaches responsibility, promotes creativity and imagination, reduces stress and fatigue - to name a few). We want to be an outlet for caregivers to ensure that their children are getting ample time to explore an unstructured, natural environment in a program designed especially for them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606e8b351fe03e62be6ff3da/99af433a-9884-4749-be08-b7d8a1a57d7f/Kollektive_Logo-16.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thekollektive.ca/home daily 1.0 2025-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606e8b351fe03e62be6ff3da/1617944138090-4659SXEUPYGC5DEV0GDG/Kollektive_Logo-56.png Home - Welcome to Kollektive!

Each program takes place entirely outdoors (you read that right). Educators work alongside children to explore their environment, learn about the world around them and engage with one another in safe and positive ways. Children and Educators learn together through play and guided provocations. All our locations offer a four hour enrichment program. This program will give children an opportunity to engage, create, and learn with their peers and is designed to enhance elementary (home and public) education. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606e8b351fe03e62be6ff3da/937a1995-765c-4624-b6db-21be6fd544b5/Kollektive+Feb+24-277.jpg Programs - What to expect After your child is dropped off, the adventure begins. Our 'child-inspired/teacher-lead' approach provides opportunities for both children and Educators to contribute to the learning experience. We will explore our natural environment, record our inquiries and build on these interests. We document our projects via various medias to track our stories and integrate children into their learning. Families will be able to track our adventures through videos and images. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606e8b351fe03e62be6ff3da/55a50b2e-0065-4b25-8e6b-074589586857/Kollektive+Feb+24-125.jpg Programs - What we get up to “It is necessary to be outside for our brains to be stimulated from the flow of sound, light, shapes and colours that nature provides. Especially between the ages of 3-6, when the energy flow in the human brain is at its greatest.” David Ingvar, Professor of Neurophysiology No two outdoor programs are alike and no two days are alike. The beauty of outdoor programs relies on the fact that each session can be considered more of an ethos than a strict/structured model that is imposed without making the children part of it. Each session involves a lot of thoughtfulness and responsiveness from the educator to be able to deliver a learning experience and to become a co-learner with the child and the group. https://www.thekollektive.ca/contact-us daily 0.75 2025-01-24 https://www.thekollektive.ca/forestschoolregistrationfees daily 0.75 2025-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606e8b351fe03e62be6ff3da/0c3c7c76-7643-4737-8c49-05ae445f45fc/Deas+Oct+2024-189.jpg https://www.thekollektive.ca/forestschoolregistrationfees/registration monthly 0.5 2022-04-01 https://www.thekollektive.ca/forestschoolregistrationfees/tuition monthly 0.5 2021-04-30 https://www.thekollektive.ca/dropinprogram daily 0.75 2025-01-24 https://www.thekollektive.ca/kollektivesummer daily 0.75 2025-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606e8b351fe03e62be6ff3da/b05ada1a-ae84-4d25-8fef-b0e5a22560ce/Kollektive+Derby-70.jpg https://www.thekollektive.ca/forestschoollocations daily 0.75 2026-03-13
