  • "After seeing firsthand the dedication and care Ms. Mandy brought to our eldest son's outdoor school experience, enrolling our twins in her new school, Little wise owls outdoor learning, was an easy decision.  We’re incredibly thankful for the wonderful experience our eldest son had and now, seeing our twins thrive in the same environment fills us with even more gratitude. From the very beginning, it was clear that Little wise owls outdoor learning was more than just a school it’s a community built on trust, exploration, and a respect for children as individuals.  Mandy’s program is something truly special. Her approach encourages curiosity, wonder, and a love for nature that has taken root deeply in all of our children. The emphasis on child-led learning and risky play has given them the freedom to grow in ways we never saw in traditional preschool settings. One of our twins, who previously struggled in a conventional brick and mortar setting, has absolutely flourished here gaining confidence, and a sense of belonging that’s been heartwarming to witness. All of the teachers clearly care deeply for each student, meeting them where they are and supporting them with genuine kindness and skill. Everything they do is grounded in intention and care, and it’s evident that each element of the curriculum from forest adventures to hands-on learning is thoughtfully crafted to support the growth of the child as well as to foster life-long nature lovers and stewards of the environment. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this program. Watching our children come home muddy, happy, and full of stories about their day in the woods is the greatest confirmation that this is exactly where they’re meant to be.”
