Tiny Treks is an innovative, outdoor Parent/Child program and Forest School for toddlers and preschoolers.
Since 1997, we have been teaching and living a belief that children learn best through nature and play. We engage and excite every sense as your child embarks on amazing Tiny Trek adventures in our San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle-East Side.
Here’s what you can expect every week - rain or shine.
At Tiny Treks we believe nature is our best classroom. We do know that young children need predictability and routine, so you can expect there will be some elements of musical circle time, nature projects, themed story time and STEAM learning throughout our exploration.
Every week our Parent/Child programs feature a new destination that explores our open spaces, baylands, farms, creeks, forest, and more - rain or shine - all led by our incredibly experienced outdoor educators. Our teachers are completely focused on your family and sharing their love of children and the outdoors through a rich curriculum each class.
Together, we lift up logs and count ants, explore our senses, dig in the mud, run through meadows, learn about birds and bugs, walk to historic farms, wade in creeks and, most importantly, nurture curiosity and instill a love of the natural world in our children.

“TINY TREKS!!!!! I cannot say enough great things about our experience. The teachers are fantastic, the curriculum is spot on for little ones and parents, the locations are incredible, the owner/staff are super responsive to questions, the price is right!, and my child has never been happier in a class! I’m trying to provide meaningful experiences outdoors with my child while she is young and Tiny Treks is the perfect class to do that!
Our family loves Tiny Treks. I’m partial to the Reggio Emilia philosophy for preschool that emphasizes the outdoors, exploration, and child’s play. I felt like Tiny Treks embodies that philosophy and that the teacher’s do a great job drawing the kids in/ building on the interest of each child.”
