Nature Connection Classes:

The goal in creating this program is to get children comfortable with being in nature and then allow their interests and our explorations to guide their learning.  The curriculum is seasonal and based on what is happening in the natural world around us, but is also spontaneous and child-led as we come across interesting aspects of nature on our walks.  We hike and spend time exploring and observing.  We draw pictures and write about our experiences in nature journals.  We do nature inspired art projects and science projects, and we learn more about nature and animals through different games that we play.  Through all these varied experiences, children will make connections to the natural world which will lead to a lifelong love and caring of the world around them.

My Grownup and Me Nature Play Classes:

This family class is for ages 18 months to 8 years.  Come play and learn in one of the best places... nature!  Classes include a nature walk, guided nature based play activity, songs, and story time.  Each week, I'll invite children into a new, expert-designed play lesson developed to spark wonder, inspire purposeful play and support kids in developing essential skills.  Nature play is such a wonderful way to engage the whole family.  The time spent exploring and being in nature leads to a lifelong love of learning and caring about the world around us.

 

It is a joy being outside with children, immersed in nature and sharing my experience and knowledge.  I hope your child can join us!
