Escondido
Our Escondido Eco Classroom
Nestled within a peaceful natural setting in Escondido, our classrooms provide a rich, immersive outdoor learning environment. This vibrant space allows students to engage deeply with academic concepts through hands-on experiences in nature, with all curriculum aligned to California State Standards.
Daily activities are thoughtfully designed to blend curriculum goals with child-led exploration. Students build literacy and phonemic awareness through approaches like Orton-Gillingham and Heggerty. As they explore seasonal creek beds and native plant habitats, they investigate local ecology, study wildlife, and reinforce science lessons through direct observation. Early math skills come alive as they explore patterns, measure natural objects, and problem-solve in real time.
Each day balances guided instruction with opportunities for independent inquiry, fostering critical thinking, resilience, and social growth. With caring educators as guides and mentors, children gain confidence in themselves while developing a deep respect for their environment and community. As with all Wild Wander locations, our Escondido site is carefully chosen to prioritize student safety and environmental stewardship. Here, children not only build strong academic foundations but also nurture a lasting connection to the natural world around them.

Families that attend Wild Wander Forest School are seeking
more than just early education -
They value adventurous, confidence-building play and a learning environment that nurtures emotional safety and curiosity. They want their children to be empowered with body autonomy and a deep sense of trust in themselves and others. These families prioritize resilience built through real-world challenges and are drawn to a slower, more intentional rhythm that encourages presence and meaningful disconnection from the noise of modern life. At Wild Wander, they find a place where learning, growth, and wonder unfold naturally—just as childhood should.
