Welcome to Little Tree
Every Tree Begins with a Tiny Seed
Little Tree began with a tiny seed.
Long before Little Tree became a place, it was a dream inspired by a book, a love of nature and a belief that people flourish when they feel safe enough to be their authentic selves.
Over many years, that tiny seed grew into a creative education and wellbeing space where children, families, schools and the wider community come together to create, connect and belong.
Every garden path, every gathering space, every art experience and every connection has grown from that original dream.
We'd love to share the story of how Little Tree came to be.

The Little Tree Way
Everything we do at Little Tree is guided by a simple philosophy: honour childhood, honour parenthood, nurture creativity and create a place where everyone feels they belong.
We believe children deserve time to wonder, play, create and simply be. Through gentle rhythms, meaningful work, nature and creative exploration, they grow in confidence, resilience and connection. We also believe parenthood deserves to be honoured. Little Tree offers parents and caregivers a place to slow down, be present, connect with others and feel supported in the beautiful journey of raising a family.
At Little Tree, creativity is never about finding the right answer. Whether painting, baking, crafting, caring for animals or exploring outdoors, we believe creativity deserves the same freedom as play. Through this freedom, children and adults discover their own ideas, trust themselves and experience the joy of creating.
Little Tree is more than a place to attend classes. It is a community where children, adults and families are welcomed as they are, and where we hope everyone leaves feeling a little more connected—to themselves, to one another and to the beauty of slowing down together.

Kind Words From Families

Dear Terrina,
The painting on this card is of Nova Scotia’s famous lighthouse. It has saved many lives over the years, as its light lit the way.
I thought of you when I saw this card. You too shine your light, and in doing so, light the way for those who come into contact with you.
You are an inspiration, as your creative way of sharing your space and gifts with others brightens your light—and the light in others.
May you continue to brighten your light by sharing it. -
