Nestled in the heart of Bragg Creek, Little Forest Dwellers offers a unique, play-based childcare experience where children aged 12 months to 6 years learn and grow primarily through exploration of nature. Our Bragg Creek program is grounded in the Alberta FLIGHT Framework, fostering development in a way that’s hands-on, child-led, and deeply rooted in outdoor play. At Little Forest Dwellers, children spend most of their day in purposefully designed natural environments, cultivating their curiosity, independence, and care for themselves, each other, and the world around them. We believe in nurturing a child’s innate wonder and by giving them the freedom to lead, create, and explore, we help them flourish in body, mind, and spirit.
