Ever plan a playdate only to chase your kids around and continually try to get them to come back over and join in with the friends you planned to meet up with ahah - been there .
The beauty of our space is the size - cozy, quaint - whatever you want to call it, it lets you be there with your kid and enjoy the company of the other families .
Play & connection at the same time - because let’s be honest making friends as an adult is hard ( like really really hard) haha.

Nature. Play. Music. Art.

Kylie and Tennyson met one fine summer day at Sorauren Park in Toronto. They immediately bonded over their love of jumpsuits (the best piece of clothing!), coffee (liquid gold!), and kids (what it’s all about!). They quickly realized that they were both extremely passionate about providing high-quality, play-based child care with a focus on outdoor education, music, art, and emotional regulation.

At Gathering Wild, we believe that children are capable and curious learners who discover their world through play. We promote an inquiry based, emergent curriculum throughout all of our programming.

Our warm, welcoming environment supports the meaningful engagement and expression of each child who enters our doors.

We believe that unhurried, open-ended exploration teaches children to ask questions, take risks, and solve problems.
