Dempsey and the Singapore Botanic Gardens
Our Signature Wildlings style is operating Forest School out of our own, private, purposefully designed nature space(s) near to publicly managed natural areas. Our first nature space is the first of its kind in Singapore, located in the convenient heart of the country in Dempsey, just south of the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
Standing at just over one acre in size, and soon to expand, our nature space boasts all of the facilites needed to run our Forest School and other programmes designed to get children and families outdoors and active and connecting with the natural world.
We venture outside of our boundary into the wider Dempsey area for our own nature and heritage trail. We work with neighbours in Dempsey to expand our Forest School experiences, and we utilise the neighbouring Singapore Botanic Gardens for excursions and our Wednesday preschool sessions.
