In this dynamic, small-group setting, your little one will engage in age-appropriate adventures that balance structured activities with child-led discovery. Each session includes:
Nature-Based Sensory Adventures: Children will dig, pour, stack, and create with natural materials that stimulate multiple senses and encourage cognitive development
Gross Motor Exploration: Toddlers will climb, balance, jump, and navigate natural terrain, building coordination, strength, and confidence
Language & Social Development: Our guided nature activities promote vocabulary growth, turn-taking, sharing, and early friendship skills in a supportive environment
Independent Nature Play: Children will engage in independent nature play, fostering creativity, problem-solving, and emotional expression.
As an experienced pediatric occupational therapist, I'll facilitate each session while allowing children the freedom to explore at their own pace. All activities are designed to honor each child's developmental stage while gently encouraging new skills.
Parents/caregivers participate in sessions, gaining valuable strategies to continue nature-based learning at home. You'll receive handouts each week that extend the benefits of group between our weekly gatherings.
Join us for 6 weeks of discovery, movement, and joyful learning through nature!
