Welcome to Three Pines Outdoor and Nature Play

Cultivating Curiosity, Imagination & Connection for all ages

Discover a place where children’s natural curiosity and love for exploration thrive. At Three Pines Outdoor and Nature Play, I inspire children to learn, grow, and connect with nature through immersive outdoor experiences. While my program emphasizes outdoor exploration, I also provide cozy indoor spaces for creative play, quiet learning, and rest during adverse weather conditions. My programs encourage independence, resilience, and joy while fostering lifelong relationships with the natural world.

Program Land Acknowledgment and Commitment to Reconciliation

"I acknowledge that the land on which Three Pines Outdoor and Nature Play operates is situated on the traditional territory of the Treaty 7 Nations: the Blackfoot Confederacy (including the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut'ina Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations). This land is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.

As the sole educator of Three Pines, I honor and respect the deep historical, cultural, and spiritual connections these Indigenous Peoples have with this land. I am committed to fostering a deeper understanding and respect for Indigenous traditions and histories within my program. I strive to be a thoughtful steward of this land, recognizing the responsibility to care for it in a way that honors its original caretakers."

Core Values

At Three Pines Outdoor and Nature Play, my core values guide everything we do, fostering growth, resilience, and connection in children as they explore the natural world.

Curiosity: Encouraging children to ask questions, embrace wonder, and explore their surroundings with an open mind. By fostering a love for discovery, I help children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that last a lifetime.

Resilience: Building strength and adaptability through outdoor play, where children learn to navigate challenges, embrace the unexpected, and grow their confidence in a supportive environment.

Connection: Fostering meaningful relationships with peers, fellow educators, and the environment by promoting teamwork, empathy, and a deep respect for the natural world.
