Tinkergarten classes guide our younger explorers and their caregivers through songs, movement, exploration, and purposeful play, while kids strengthen their communication skills in the most stimulating and soothing classroom of all—the great outdoors. Designed for children aged 18 months to 6 years, together with their caregivers.
Tinkering with Nature: Big Kids Program
Tinkering with Nature is the Big Kid version of Tinkergarten. It's a drop-off program for kids ages 7-12. Each season, we use nature play to work on a different skill critical to our kids' learning and ongoing development. Class sessions incorporate scavenger hunts, code breaking, and teamwork challenges.
