the learning continues outside! 


Our Outdoor Classroom extends learning beyond the walls of the classroom, offering children meaningful opportunities to create, explore, investigate, move, and connect with nature throughout the year.


Your children can play safely in one of two fenced-in AstroTurf® playgrounds where climbers, slides, and ample space provide opportunities for running, jumping, and climbing! We have a wide variety of other special equipment like scooters, tricycles, parachutes, and hopper balls to name a few, that are offered regularly for endless opportunities to develop gross motor skills and core strength. All equipment is just the right size to safely offer the right amount of challenge and the right amount of independent play!
