Discover Wild Things Outdoor Learning

A place for children to play, grow and learn in Westlake Village. Your children deserve nothing but the best, so bring them here for an inviting environment that encourages curiosity and fun.

Our Story

Wild Things Outdoor Learning was born from an admiration of forest schools and nature play. We started with "child and caregiver classes" for kids aged 1 - 5, and have expanded into a Nature Preschool Class, and Summer Camp is coming in June. We allow children to explore their self-awareness. Our program is entirely student-led, play-based and outdoors. We want our little ones to find a connection to the world around them, to each other and to themselves. Once they have experienced outdoor learning, their love of nature and exploration will only grow with them.

Child and Caregiver Classes

Nature Explorers and Messy Art is where we started, and we love these classes so much. These "mommy and me" style classes are offered in the Oak Park area and provide a range of opportunities for our littlest of learners to spend some time outdoors! Check out our main Child and Caregiver page to find out more and to dive into each class further! We hope to see you soon!

Nature Preschool Classes (Homeschool Enrichment)
(Drop-Off Program)

We started our Nature Preschool Class March 5 and had the best time playing, learning and growing! Our Fall Session is coming in September and will run for 14 weeks. We are running this out of the Oak Park area and it is all outdoors. It is nature-based and play-based, the best way for our little ones to learn!! If you have a little one between 2 1/2-ish - 6-ish and you want to join our next session, reach out and let us know today!

Camps
(Drop-Off Program)

Spring Camp starts next year and Summer Camp is back! Our Camps are a whole lot of nature play, some arts and crafts with group games mixed in for some extra fun. We ran out of Oak Park for little ones 2/2 1/2ish - 6ish and had the most fun. Check out Next Year's Camps

Parties and Private Classes
(Can be child and caregiver or drop-off)

Do you have a party coming up for a little one who is into Nature or Art? Are you a homeschooling family or group who is looking for a teacher to teach certain units or for fun extracurricular classes? Do you run a mom's group or have a group of friends that would enjoy private "mommy and me" classes on your own schedule with your group. Reach out, we'd love to cater classes to your needs!

Wild Things Outdoor Learning Mission

 

EXPLORE             CONNECT             GROW

​

We believe that a connection with nature leads to greater connections with ourselves and others. We hope to foster this with you and your kids through our classes and camps. Our goal is to build greater awareness of self through creativity and self expression, connect to others through play and collaboration and find our place in the world out in nature.
