A Forest Education Initiative

Children of Nature

Where kids learn to feel at home anywhere in the world through nature.

A forest-based learning tribe for ages 6–12.

The Vision

Children of Nature is a natural space where children grow through the quiet power of nature. Rooted in the rhythms of the earth, this environment invites curiosity, resilience, and self-discovery. By learning with nature rather than apart from it, children develop a deep sense of connection, belonging, and trust in themselves and the world around them.

Our Guiding Principles

Every Child Is Unique

Learning is personal, supported by nature and community.

Belonging Through Community

Mixed-age groups foster connection and inclusion.

Learning by Experience

Play, stories, movement, and real-life moments.

About Us

We are Neta and Iftah, parents to 3 kids. A travelling family, we started Children of Nature in 2008 as an invitation to other families.

An initiative for your kids to live with the rhythm of nature – slow, intentional and curious.
