Outdoor-nature exploration classes engage children and help them build emotional-regulation techniques, teamwork and problem solving skills; and a growth mindset so they are better prepared to handle conflict and internal and external stressors in life.
Best designed for children ages 6-9.
We embrace the thinking, feeling and willing aspects of Steiner/ Waldorf inspired education with our own nature-based and emotional wellness emphasis.
Every week we focus on a key affirmation (ex: I am Kind / I am Adventurous etc) to instill confidence in the children. We curate oral stories & fables, journaling, games, and the activities in the arts to support the daily or weekly affirmation. This is where we differ from most programs out there. While yes, we're outdoors, studying nature isn't our main focus, and while we weave in language arts & math, academics aren't the focus, your child is the inspiration for our lesson plans and we work hard to affirm them every class and help them see the amazing, creative, adventurous and kind human beings they are now and are becoming! Affirmations are powerful, and we're doubling down on them.
10am - Drop offs: free & guided play

11:30 - Lunch Time & Guided Nature Play Break
12:00 - Session 2: Guided Field Games + Guided Arts & Hands On Projects*

It's an action packed 3 hours with a lot of guided activity but just enough free choice moments that the children feel regulated with gentle transitions between each activity.

The difference between Tuesday & Thursday is that Tuesday will introduce the main lesson of the week through a “question of the day” followed by story, nature journaling and team games; whereas Thursday will invite the children into a hands-on team project to bring the lesson into the physical. Both days are designed to work as a duo, but they also have value independent of one another.
