We strive to be active members of our local community.
We are stewards of our local eco-system, the parks & places where nature lives.
At Sprouting Knowledge we follow Forest Schools Ethos & Principles
We are guided and inspired by the wisdom of listening deeply to our hearts and intuition. The beauty of working in nature is that it allows us the time and space to hear those messages, reflect and take action.
All programs run in Peterson Creek,
a culturally significant area to our local First Nation.
We respectfully acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional unceeded territory of the Secwepemc Nation and the Tkâemlups te Secwepemc people.

Mission
Sprouting Knowledge is dedicated to providing rich playful opportunities for children and their families to connect to nature. We strive to build relationships that support and nurture our development as human beings through play, observation, reflection and stewardship.
Vision
We seek to be an organization that inspires families to connect more deeply to the natural world and thus care for it as they would their children.

Core Values
We believe in developmentally appropriate practice in education that meets the needs of the children and families we serve. We strive to provide the highest quality programming possible by committing to forming strong relationships and using personal reflection as a tool for my own growth.
We firmly believe we are stewards of the land where we work and play. It is our responsibility, as stewards, to leave the eco-system better than when we found it and to engage in sustainable, ethical practices always in all ways, to give back to the land and our community in ways which show our gratitude.
“Unless we are willing to encourage our children to reconnect with and appreciate the natural world, we can’t expect them to help protect and care for it.”
David Suzuki
