About us
In our modern, media heavy world, it can be a great satisfaction to use our hands, some tools and our creativity to produce a tangible piece of art. Working with wood is a wonderful medium to express our ideas and to create something special.

Woodworking benefits
Emotional & Social
Sense of competence, confidence, responsibility, respect for self and others, respect for material and safety.
Cognitive/Intellectual
Mathematical thinking (size, shape, volume, measurement, directionality, geometry) engineering skills, creativity and inventiveness.
Physical
Eye-Hand coordination, strength and fine motor control.
Aesthetics
The smell and feel of wood, the dusty friction of sanding something smooth, the contrast of warm wood and cold metal.
Wood Wizards Philosophy
Wood Wizards philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is our desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. Wood Wizards will provide a safe environment with physical and behavioural boundaries where students are invited to share their ideas and take calculated risks.
With the emphasis on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) in early childhood classrooms, the Wood Workshop provides Preschool and Primary School children a means to become makers, tinkerers and engineers.

These guys are the best! They are definitely what their name suggests!
It’s amazing how many different techniques you’ve introduced to them in only one year!
Unbelievable how confident my son is with all the tools you introduced during only one hour lesson per week!
My sons math results changed since you introduced measuring and calculations in the weekly Wood Wizards Classes at our school.
Keep up great Job! You have got a cool Team!
Birthday party was awesome and absolute blast! Kids had endless fun and adore the dogs that they made!
