A Classroom Without Walls 2-8 years-old
A day in our outdoor classroom
- A musical circle time with rhythm, songs, and memorization
- Learning about the natural environment during guided nature hikes
- Nature-based arts and crafts
- Unstructured play allowing kids to interact meaningfully with their peers and surroundings
- Balancing, climbing, jumping, running and a variety of gross motor skills activities

Children learn to open their senses as they venture out on weekly guided nature walks throughout local nature preserves, city, and county parks. Topics and locations will vary from week to week, but are specifically designed for children ages 24 months to 8 years old. All children must be accompanied by an adult caregiver at all times. Classes are held rain or shine, so weather-appropriate attire is strongly encouraged.
