🌿 THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR TINY OAKS 🌿

Last week, we shared a little dream with you… and more than 7,000 people saw it. 🤎

We are transforming our 8 × 20 ft shipping container into a beautiful, permanent classroom for our Junior & Intermediate learners — a warm, natural space for learning, creating, reading, gathering and growing.

And now, our GoFundMe is LIVE! (Link in BIO)

Our goal is $20,000 to help bring this classroom to life.

Every donation matters. $10, $25, $50, $100 — it all becomes part of something that will serve children for years to come.

And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this post is just as meaningful. You never know who it might reach.

🌳 Help us build something lasting.

Donate or share through the link in our bio. 🤎

Thank you for believing in what we’re building at Tiny Oaks. taken in Tottenham, Ontario by @tinyoaksforestschool

Wild Harvest Wednesdays are here! 🌿🔥🍂

This fall, we’re inviting curious, wild-hearted kids to slow down, notice what the land is offering, and learn how to turn the season’s harvest into something delicious.

Alongside Keith from @edibly_wild children will forage and harvest, learn to safely identify seasonal foods, prepare and cook together, and—of course—eat what they create. Some weeks may even include preserves or something special to bring home! 

🌿 Wednesdays | 12:30–3:30 PM
🍄 Ages 8+
🔥 $40 per class, per child
📍 Tiny Oaks Forest School

Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to get your hands dirty. 🌱

Our first ever Lantern Walk is coming to Tiny Oaks! 🏮🍂

Join us in creating memories and traditions alongside our children. As the autumn evening settles in, we’ll make lanterns, share a puppet story and song, then walk together by lantern light.

The heart of this evening is simple: time together outdoors, a little warmth as the days grow cooler, and the joy of watching our children carry the lanterns they made.

Families are welcome to bring a pumpkin for our pumpkin patch and vote for a favourite. We’ll also have warm soup and apple cider to enjoy together.

Friday, October 23 | 5:30–7:30 pm
Tiny Oaks at Pond Side Acres
$15 donation per family to Pond Side Acres

Please dress warmly. Children must attend with a parent or caregiver; this is a family event, not a drop-off event.

Register through the Jotform link in our bio. We can’t wait to share our first Lantern Walk with you! 🤍 taken in Tottenham, Ontario by @tinyoaksforestschool

What does Tiny Oaks Forest School look like? 🌳✨

A little wild. A little muddy. A whole lot of learning! 😂

Around here, childhood gets to be childhood; exploring, creating, climbing, wondering, getting dirty, taking risks, connecting with the earth, and learning along the way! 

Like this, like that, and like this ✌️🌿

Welcome to Tiny Oaks. Where we’re reimagining what education can look like 🦋✨❤️‍🔥

It’s almost here! 🌿✨🦋

Liberating Education brings together 15 incredible stories from women who are paving new pathways for their children and for generations to come.

Together, these stories invite us to reimagine education in a way that brings us back to our hearts, our intuition, our connection to one another, and our love for the Earth. They remind us that education can honour the whole child and that there are many beautiful ways to learn, grow, and belong.

My chapter, “A Weaving of Ancient and New,” shares a piece of my own journey, and I am deeply honoured to have my story woven alongside the voices of these incredible women! 

🌿 Liberating Education launches September 29th on Amazon.

If you are planning to purchase a copy, purchasing it on September 29th will help give the book a strong launch and support our hope of reaching the bestseller lists!

Here’s to reimagining education and creating new pathways for the generations to come. 🤎🌿

Another incredible part of this whole experience? My incredibly talented best friend @bycarolinefrances is the lead author ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥✨🦋 Couldn’t have been a more perfect fit.

Things you only hear at a forest school… PART 3 🌲😂

At some point, you stop questioning it.

You sweep the walkway of chicken, goose & turkey poop.
You casually relocate a turkey so someone can paint. 🎨🦃
The garden becomes the snack cupboard. 🥕
Someone suggests digging up a squirrel buried last year… you know, for science! 🐿️😂 

It’s messy. It’s hilarious. It’s wildly unpredictable.

And somehow, woven into all of it, there is SO much learning.

Just another completely normal day at Tiny Oaks. 🌿

Welcome to the forest school revolution! 🌲✨

Things you only hear at a forest school… PART 2 😂🌲

Around here, the chickens are part of the community, sticks are treasured possessions, mysterious poop requires immediate investigation, and a trip into the pond may come with a quick lesson on leeches 😂

There’s so much humour in letting kids be kid! 

They’re curious. They’re hilarious. They ask the questions we would never think to ask — and they remind us not to take ourselves (or education) quite so seriously.

We’re learning, laughing, getting muddy, asking weird questions and keeping things a little wild🌿

Because childhood deserves room to be exactly that — childhood!

Follow along as we reimagine education ❤️‍🔥✨🌲

Welcome to the forest school revolution! ✊🌱

The wild children grew up… and became the teachers!🌿✨

At Tiny Oaks @tinyoaksforestschool we believe growing up was never supposed to mean losing the parts of ourselves that are curious, playful, messy, loud, creative and WILD.

We kept our wild so we could create a space where children feel safe to keep theirs!🌲

Here’s to the trailblazers, the free-thinkers, the barefoot wanderers, the question-askers, the dancers… and apparently the booty shakers too 😂💃

May we never teach them to shrink
May we give them space to become MORE of who they already are ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
