our mission
Our Mission is to create opportunities for nature based exploration and child-led play using Cedarsong and Reggio Inspired approach, where children are empowered to learn about themselves, others, and the natural world by following their curiosity, building friendships, and developing essential life skills.
our beginnings
My name is Lindsay, I am the founder and guide here at Muddy River Nature School. We first opened our doors in Grand Forks as a licensed childcare around 2016 after a series of unfortunate childcare experiences with our own daughter. We relocated our program to Horace in 2022 where we were welcomed with open arms by the community. We feel very blessed to have such amazing support.
Our image of the child is rich in potential, strong, powerful, competent, and most of all, connected to adults and other children. -Loris Malaguzzi
