OUTDOOR LEARNING

OUTDOOR PLAY

We believe that young children learn through play and hands-on experiences, and our school’s environment was created with that in mind.

Whether it’s collecting pinecones and twigs, making a mud pie, hopping on a tree stump, measuring the growth of plants, or keeping track of worms in the worm farm, the ingredients are already provided for children in our Outdoor Classroom.
