Nestlings Program
Cumberland · Courtenay · Comox
Walking – 36 Months Old Forest Friends (accompanied by a caregiver)
Go wild this fall, 2026!
A program for toddlers and a caregiver, Nestlings meet once a week (per location) to explore nature with our Nature Educators. Each week we will enjoy activities, songs and stories that are developmentally appropriate for our youngest forest friends. Forest school is all about observing and supporting children’s interests, and we give children the time and space to make their own discoveries, as well as provide opportunities for social connection and an early introduction to all we do at Hand-In-Hand Nature Education!
