Growing wild & whole, one childhood at a time.”

Infancia libre - Arte - Naturaleza

Welcome to Nurtured Oak — a space where childhood is celebrated outdoors. Our two-hour sessions bring children ages 3–8 and their caregivers together to paint, sing, play, and explore in San Diego’s beautiful parks. Through art, bilingual (Spanish–English) storytelling, and muddy, joy-filled adventures, we nurture creativity, connection, and confidence. With small groups of only 10 children per session, every gathering feels safe, personal, and rooted in community.

This is not a drop-off program — children attend together with a parent or caregiver.

What we believe…

Freedom

Childhood should be free, playful, and rooted in nature.

Creativity

Sparking creativity matters more than the finished product.

Connection

Connection — between children, families, and the earth — cultivates resilience.
