Offering city kids the chance to learn, play and grow in a forest school atmosphere.
Our mission is to help develop confident, resilient, and passionate children through outdoor-oriented programming. Our camps offer a welcoming and inclusive environment where kids can explore their natural surroundings, gain early exposure to multiple languages, and learn from one another in a mixed-age environment. At Jardin Infantil Academy, every child is welcome.
Programs
Programs are outdoor-oriented and conducted in English, with introductory elements of other languages. We have access to indoor space at a local church, which is situated on a hilltop at Bloor St. West and Indian Rd., but Jardin Infantil Academy does not have any religious affiliation.
Camp Programs
Our summer and year-round camps offer fun-filled days with activities that range from arts and nature to drama, multi-sports, Go With The Flow and cooking. Children can join on summer, and other school breaks including PA Days, March Break, and Winter Break.
Marta’s Daycare Program
The daycare curriculum incorporates principles from Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf thinking, to emphasize independence, educating the whole child, outdoor play, and child-led learning in a mixed-age classroom.

Family Activities 2024
Mother & Daughter's Day (Saturday, May 4th)
This event honours Mother-Daughter bonding! It will be a morning filled with laughter, creativity, and connection. We’ll discover the strengths of nature, decorate each other’s t-shirts, and find moments of mindfulness and strength. The incredible Roberta Harris will lead the workshop.
But that’s not all β your participation will also support families in need through the JIA Scholarship Fund, as a portion of ticket sales will be donated.
Secure your spot now by heading over to our registration platform under Family Activities. Let’s make this Mother’s Day unforgettable! π
βWith her warm-hearted spirit and tireless energy, Marta would guide the children through numerous outdoor activities, all the while encouraging them to develop a lasting appreciation of the wonders of nature.β
