What do our programs look like?
When kids cross over the stream into our space, they are welcomed to a place where they are free to play, learn, dream, try new things, and connect to nature.
Forest Play forest programs (formerly TimberNook) are semi-structured outdoor play programs rooted in principles of healthy child development. Our groups are between 14-20 children, maintaining a ratio of 6:1. Programs take place in Edworthy Park, a natural space with owls, a little stream, and plenty of great climbing trees. We are a play program, not a school, allowing for flexibility to follow the interests and needs of the kids without being bound to a curriculum. We have a consistent flow to the day without a time-bound schedule, and intentionally minimize transitions and interuptions to play.
Experiences your child can look forward to:
-Stories -Creating their own pretend worlds
-Games –Experimenting with loose parts
-Imaginary play -Physical challenges
-Campfires -Building forts
-Playing in the mud! -Meeting lots of awesome new kids!
