Nature inspired, kid directed. Wildly fun outdoor play classes. Featuring the Tinkergarten curriculum for ages 1.5-9 years old
Our summer sensory series is well under way! We have explored three of our senses (touch, hearing, and smell) and still have four more to go! Yes FOUR! We have not revealed our two hidden senses yet! It’s not too late to join the fun!

This is such an important quote!
Parents and educators alike need to recognize the power of play and its role in our children's development.
Make time for play! Make time for free play! Make time for free play outside!

Honestly, when I see them come back from the woods with burrs on their sweaters and mud on their knees, I don’t see a mess anymore—I see a record of their day. They’ve spent hours solving real problems: figuring out how to balance a branch to make a bridge, or patiently waiting to see what moves under the moss.
That kind of focus, the kind where they get so lost in the "work" that they forget to brush their hair or clean their shoes—that’s where the real stuff happens. We spend so much time trying to structure their learning, but sometimes the best thing we can do is just let them get a little wild and see what they come back with.
What’s the most "nature-covered" discovery your kids have brought home lately?
We flexed our creativity muscles all spring long! We broke, bent, and blended to create new things, we imagined, we explored, we played with a LOT of sticks, and we got super messy! It’s always bittersweet to end a season, but we are ready for summer classes to start this week! We have a few spots remaining!
