At Gathering Wild, we believe that children are capable and curious learners who discover their world through play. We promote an inquiry-based, emergent curriculum throughout all of our programs.

Kylie and Tennyson met one fine summer day at Sorauren Park in Toronto. They immediately bonded over their love of jumpsuits (the best piece of clothing!), coffee (liquid gold!), and kids (what it’s all about!).

They quickly realized that they were both extremely passionate about providing high-quality, play-based child care with a focus on outdoor education, music, art, and emotional regulation. Not long afterwards, Gathering Wild was born!

When Kylie gave birth to her first child this fall, we knew we had our work cut out for us to hire someone who would fit into our messy, silly, and passionate environment. Luckily, we met Rachael. Her calm, warm personality and natural gift with children has been an incredible addition to our programming here.

Now we’ve expanded even further, adding Eva, Gabi, and Aliah to our wonderful team! We couldn’t do it without these incredible folks.
