TimberNook: Outdoor Learning

Twice a month, our preschoolers head outside for theme-based, imagination-led play on our state of the art playground.

Time and space to play deeply

Blossom Station offers an enrichment program for our preschool children centered on outdoor experiences. Twice a month, TimberNook staff bring theme-based activities that give children sensory, motor, and social experiences on our playground.

These activities encourage children to use their imagination and critical thinking, and to negotiate materials with their classmates, expanding their play in new and unique ways. Staff step back to empower age-appropriate risk-taking and deep, process-oriented learning.

Social skills

Unrestricted outdoor time leads to creative social adventures, as children build together and invent games.

Attention

Daily outdoor play improves attention span, as movement stimulates the brain for sustained focus.
