Tinkergarten Free Trial Classes:
Wednesday, July 2, 10:30am-12:00pm
Wednesday, July 9, 10:30am-12:00pm
Each season, we help children to develop one of our 8 core skills kids need to become curious, capable learners who can contribute to their world. This Summer, we focus on communication—the symphony of skills kids activate in order to receive communication from others, process that communication, and express back out their ideas. To make it extra joyful, we frame all of our lessons around a fun Camp Tinkergarten theme.
Each lesson will gently highlight a different aspect of communication. Throughout the series, we'll also attune explorers and grown-ups to how important Tinkergarten class rituals help kids strengthen their communication skills. We'll also teach our special summer "Camping With Our Friends" song to support kids with active listening and non-verbal communication.
