Brain-Boosting Outdoor Play

Over the past decade, we've honed our unique approach to help kids become healthy, curious, creative and caring learners.
Our unique approach

  • Nature at the core

    +

    Creatures are our teachers. Mud and sticks are our tools, and every lesson deepens kids’ connection to nature.

    Stimulating and calming in equal parts, the outdoors provides a perfect environment for kids’ sensory systems, activating their focus and joy for learning.

    In a world of uncertainty, I have been blessed to be reminded each week of the amazing power of wonder. To see children experience the natural world around them with such joy gives me hope. The hours that I spend outside as a Tinkergarten teacher are some of the best, week after week.

  • Irresistibly playful

    +

    Each lesson is engineered as an invitation to play that kids simply can’t refuse!

    Each class I observed how engaged the kids were in the explorations and could tell that they were so immersed that they could've continued happily for much longer.

  • Open-ended, child-led

    +
    Kids learn best when they lead the way. Plus, we help grown-ups support their child’s unique process.

    I learned to be more patient and child-led in my interactions. I have changed my perspective around how to initiate an idea and let the kids run with it.

  • Part science, part wisdom

    +
    Every lesson combines early learning science with timeless wisdom about nature and childhood. It’s a magic combination.

    We learned another way to play with them, to approach nature, and to ask them things like 'What do you think? What do you see?'
