At Wild Child Nosara, we offer a vibrant, nature-rooted learning space for nomadic families seeking a meaningful alternative to traditional education. Designed especially for Worldschoolers, Unschoolers, and Homeschoolers, our programs are child-led, project-based, and deeply holistic.
We are not a conventional school—we are a flexible enrichment environment where children gather to explore creativity, sustainability, ancestral skills, and essential academics like literacy and numeracy, all through the lens of cultural and ecological awareness.
We value vital health, mindfulness, and full presence, integrating practices that nurture the body as much as the mind—through outdoor play, rhythm, movement, and embodied experiences that ground learning in the senses and the seasons.
Our approach nurtures creative potential, natural leadership, and a profound connection to self, nature, and community. Children are empowered to lead their own projects, think critically and imaginatively, and develop intelligence rooted in purpose, joy, and deep listening.
We are committed to cultivating inner alignment, discernment, and sovereignty, while also fostering respect for others, love for community, and reverence for indigenous wisdom and the ancestral arts of living well. Our rhythms are attuned to the evolving world, honoring both ancient knowledge and the future we are co-creating together.
Our vision is to raise conscious, capable, and heart-centered individuals—children who thrive not only academically, but emotionally, physically, and spiritually, deeply aware of their role in shaping a more just, beautiful, and regenerative world.
Our emerging curriculum grows with the needs of your family, fostering a sense of community like a village. We offer year-round flexibility, with customized schedules and sliding-scale fees to ensure accessibility.:
Join Anytime: Membership is open year-round, and your child(ren) can start anytime during the season.
Flexible Programs: Choose from daily drop-offs, and short-term, or long-term programs tailored to your family’s rhythm.
Year-Round Availability: Our programs run throughout the year, offering consistency and community.
Customized Schedules: You decide the number of days your child(ren) attend and can adjust weekly as your needs and priorities evolve. While we encourage a minimum commitment of three full-time days, we honor the flexibility your family requires.
Our offerings are designed to nurture creative freedom, imagination, and interpersonal skills in children of all ages. Through hands-on experiences in sustainable living practices, co-creation, movement, and play, we provide an environment where children can thrive while having a lot of fun.
Membership fees are offered on a sliding scale, with scholarships available to ensure inclusivity. We also collaborate with families and businesses to customize programs and schedules to best suit their unique needs.
A Blend of Holistic Educational Philosophies
Wild Child Playgarden & Wildschooling is a harmonious blend of alternative pedagogical approaches, drawing inspiration from Waldorf, Forest, Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Sunbury, and Summerhill philosophies. Our programs integrate the most impactful elements from these paradigms while honoring the unique gifts, talents, and creativity of our educators.
