Your Child Learns In An Amazing Outdoor Classroom At Least 2 Hours Every Day
Creativity Flows Freely In The Art Area
With the opportunity to create art outside, your child takes ideas and inspiration from the world around them to form a masterpiece. An outdoor classroom removes normal parameters around art allowing your child’s creativity to flow more freely and be expressed in more ways.
The Messy Materials Area Puts Them In Control
Today’s children spend less time in wild natural areas and have fewer opportunities to “be messy.” This area encourages children to experiment with different natural objects and feel a sense of personal mastery over their environment. This area is also great for children with sensory integration challenges.
Physical Skills Flourish In The Wheeled Toy Area
Giving your child a path where they can use wheeled toys allows them to use large muscles. Pedaling around bike paths creates the right amount of physical challenge to keep them engaged. They use balance bikes to build coordination and balance and teachers help them hone those skills in the fresh air.
The Water Area Inspires Curiosity
Through hands-on activities, sink-float experiments, mixing sand with dirt, and much more, your child manipulates water and makes early scientific discoveries that spark a love for learning, a curiosity to try something new, and a chance to understand the physical laws of nature.
Social-Emotional Skills Develop In The Sand Area
This sandy space creates the ideal setting for positive social interaction. Life skills are an important part of your child’s social-emotional development and are a significant predictor of future academic success. As they work together, build castles, and share tools, your child develops individual and group skills in the sand.
The Climbing Area Supports Physical & Cognitive Development
Traditional climbing structures, tree stumps, and balance beams help your child gain self-confidence and self-control as they master physical challenges. Learning to maneuver in different settings fosters risk management skills and strengthens your child’s thinking in ways that support mathematical and visual-spatial skills.
Lots Of Space To Run Freely In The Open Area
Besides exciting learning and discovery in the great outdoors, your child needs space to run, jump, dance, and play games with other children. This space dedicated to active play gives your child the chance to move and let off steam—a crucial element of their day as we fight to stop childhood obesity and diabetes.
Music & Movement Supports Self Expression
Your child learns about sound, pitch, rhythm, and tonality, manipulates a variety of musical instruments, and practices concepts related to physics. As they dance, sing, and play, your child experiences self-discovery as they explore who they are and how they can express themselves in fun ways.
Tending The Garden Creates A Connection With Nature
In beautiful outdoor gardens, your child learns about natural systems and seasons and develops keen observation skills. As your child helps with the planting, caring, and harvesting process, they discover a sense of responsibility and appreciation for fresh produce, and will be more likely to try new foods.
