Stay & Play "Seedlings"
(Caregiver & Me)

This class for caregivers and their young forest explorers (ages birth - 5 years) It is led by Wild Oak Explorer guides utilizing the Tinkergarten curriculum. We believe in a mixed-age environment where the young are learning from the older students as well as the older ones still learning from the younger ones while maintaining their empathy for both. We believe in Free Play in Nature and your child will experience this while in class. It gives time for parents to step back after our lessons and watch the magic happen as your child's imagination is released into the forest.

Being in nature encourages healthy minds and bodies, and research shows that regular interaction with nature creates a greater sense of happiness, overall physical health, and well-being.
