Tinkergarten is not a typical kids' class—we share ideas with educational frameworks like Montessori, Waldorf and Reggio Emilia, but we're much more. Our technology-enabled, expert designed curriculum adapts to region and season, is age appropriate, and spans a broad range of skills. Activities progressively build week after week, season after season.
"The classes are so well-thought-out and organized without being rigid."– Kate, Mom to a 3 year old
Our classes bring back something that seems to be lost on this new generation — something that was a most influential part of our own childhoods — free time to tinker outdoors.
"My youngest was more independent in this class than any other we've taken."– Julie, Mom to a 3-year-old
Kids learn leadership, problem solving, persistence, and more through well-designed, guided play. At Tinkergarten, we think independent exploration, risk taking, getting dirty, and making help kids achieve far greater things than drills at the local tutoring center.
"I've learned to see his play as learning. Amazing!"– Jon, Dad of a 2-year-old
The most critical social development happens in the first 5 years. Tinkergarten is purposefully designed to bring kids together with their peers, their parents, and allow mom and dad to bond with their child more meaningfully.
"He lost himself at Tinkergarten, and before he knew it, he was working with the other kids."– Elif, Mom to a 3-year-old
