FALL 2024: Purposeful Play Tinkergarten
PURPOSEFUL PLAY TINKERGARTEN is a weekly program where children learn through nature exploration. Each class encourages problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity.
This fall, our lessons help kids develop focus. The curriculum is designed to help kids hone the symphony of skills we use to direct, shift, and sustain our attention, all through playful exploration of nature.
Throughout the series, we'll leverage the inherently captivating natural world to teach kids building blocks of focus, including: how to feel grounded in the moment; how to zoom in and zoom out; how to wonder; and how to follow our interests.
