Our Oceanside Eco Classroom
Situated in a quiet corner of Oceanside, our classrooms provide an enriching outdoor learning environment within a diverse natural habitat. This setting offers students a dynamic space to apply academic concepts through direct interaction with nature, with all curriculum aligned to California State Standards.
Daily activities are intentionally structured to balance curriculum goals with hands-on exploration. Students strengthen literacy and phonemic awareness through methods such as Orton-Gillingham and Heggerty, practiced beneath the open sky. They investigate plant and animal life to reinforce science and ecology lessons, and apply early math skills through pattern recognition and nature-based measurement.
Each day combines guided instruction with time for independent inquiry, supporting critical thinking, problem-solving, and social development. With caring educators as mentors, children gain confidence in their abilities while developing respect for their environment.
As with all Wild Wander locations, our Oceanside site is selected to uphold student safety and environmental stewardship. Here, children build strong academic foundations alongside a deep sense of responsibility for the natural spaces they study and enjoy.

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.
