What Your Child Will Gain
Children will build:
Risk assessment and safety awareness
School Readiness Skills: Practicing routines, transitions, listening, turn-taking, and early self-help skills like dressing, snack independence, and toileting
Hands-On Learning: Nature stories, songs, art, and sensory-rich activities that invite language, creativity, and joyful discovery
Emotional Awareness: Daily check-ins and gentle routines that help children recognize and name their feelings, practice calming strategies, and build resilience
Social Skills: Plenty of time for building friendships, sharing, working together, and navigating early conflict with support
Life-long friendships, self-assurance, and emotional awareness
These skills naturally weave into their everyday lives, helping them become more capable, curious, and confident.
Program Highlights
Child-led exploration with learning introduced naturally through play and curiosity
Nature games, storytelling, projects, and daily challenges that reflect the day’s theme
Small group adventures with a high adult-to-child ratio
Supportive mentoring to encourage self-sufficiency and deeper learning
Focus on emotional intelligence, compassion, and gratitude
Visits from expert guests who inspire, teach, and guide children in outdoor knowledge and skills
I am thrilled to welcome everyone to programs, where we build community and connection through play!
Note:
Program ends promptly at 12:30 PM. A late fee of $50 will be charged for pickups more than 1 minute late (once).
