Hi!
We are Sophie and Cat
We used to be teachers. We love helping children learn and feel confident.
Now we learn outdoors in nature. It feels calm, fun, and full of adventure.
You can be yourself. You can explore, ask questions, and learn in your own way.
We are kind and caring. We help children feel safe, happy, and included.
Most of all, we want you to have fun and feel proud of yourself.
Video coming soon!
Take a look at the kinds of activities we usually do in our sessions and meet Sophie and Cat by watching the video.
It will give you a really good idea of what to expect and the sorts of things you might get to try.
