Keeping Childhood Wild.
Wild Child is a nature-based parent and child program serving Victoria, BC, offering support and community for local families.
Welcome!
Wild Child is a nature-based, child-led playgroup for children ages 0–7 and their caregivers. Rooted in the belief that childhood is best lived slowly and close to the earth, our program invites children to explore the natural world through unstructured outdoor play. Inspired by the Waldorf philosophy, we follow the rhythms of the seasons, supporting learning through nature.
At the heart of Wild Child is community. We gather weekly (rain or shine) in parks around Greater Victoria and at our home base, The Grove. Our goal is to create a community of likeminded caregivers that would rather be outside than inside!
Come join us for a morning of child-led fun and increase your confidence in providing outdoor opportunities for your children.

Wild Child recognizes that we are uninvited guests living and playing on the lands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən speaking Peoples, also known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.
As a nature-based program, we believe it is essential to acknowledge the land we play on and to continually learn from the Indigenous Peoples who have cared for it since time immemorial.
We strive to show respect by caring for this land and nurturing our children’s relationship with it.
