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.
