Program Design

This program invites young tots to explore, discover, and connect with the natural world through hands-on, play-based experiences conducted entirely outdoors.  Each Friday morning, children will engage in guided and unstructured outdoor activities that promote curiosity, sensory exploration, and early social and emotional development. Children will learn to observe changes in nature throughout the seasons, foster empathy for living things, and gain confidence in their physical and creative abilities. It’s a great way to softly introduce your young tot to the forest school philosophy and ease them into our Budding Minds early years program.
