How do the children learn?
Children learn in a holistic way Our program is inspired by the ancient ways of being, the rhythms of nature and its elements the Waldorf Philosophy, The European Forest School model and the principles of sustainable living. All our activities are fostered on a child-centered emergent learning based on the needs and interests of the children of the tribe. This is a program designed to be led by the children, with leaders serving as guides.
What do they learn?
Let us count the ways!. We foster opportunities to raise nature awareness, awe, gratitude, compassion and reverence for the natural world and respect for all living things. We do all this inspired, embraced and empowered by our connections with the earth and our community.
Wild Child Tribal children practice teamwork, exploration and discovery, resilience, effective problem solving skills, flexible critical thinking, environmental stewardship and leadership skills, are some of the many skills children are able to self-discover, acquire and develop during our time outdoors.
We embraced gender equality by welcoming children of both genders and requiring that both genders be represented in leadership. We make nature crafts, sing songs, teach woodland lore and primitive skills, participate in service projects, explore cultures outside of our own, celebrate the Earth, teach good citizenship, go camping and hiking, take on personal challenges, put on plays, participate in community outreach events and grow and learn together.
Our nature lover community work together, hand in hand, to bring nature goodness to our greater community! During our school year, we will also have the active collaboration of our Nature Park naturalists in some of our classes!
At Wild Child Tribal learning emerges organically through children curiosity and continuous interactions with the earth. Although Wild Child Tribal is child-led and we try not to get in the way of creativity, imagination and connection with nature, we also move with the rhythms of nature. Every season children will have time for free exploration, seasonal songs and poems, get a bite to eat in the wild while being grateful for Mother Earth, nature walk and journaling. Children according to their maturity level and skill level will gather to learn and practice ancient primitive skills: Whittling, Fire Making, Potting and much more!
The group will also visit a minimum of one park per season, organize one community outreach event with the help of their parents and celebrate a Community Festivals. Each parent will be expected to volunteer one full day during a season.
Do the children earn badges?
At Rosewood and Wild Child Tribal, we foster respect and peaceful cooperation rather than competition so that learning and friendship can take place and evolve in a positive, encouraging way. Wild Child Tribe foster opportunities for children to feel empowered by what they do, how they do it, their skill set and the knowledge gained according to their development. As such, each wild child has the opportunity to earn - with their tribes and individually, a variety of tokens that they can proudly display. Additionally, Tribes are encouraged to explore the world around them and to suggest new tokens based on their own interests and activities.
