Tinkergarten Caregiver and Child Classes
What is a Tinkergarten class like?
We spend a few minutes reuniting with our friends after arriving, settling in, and noticing what is new in our outdoor classroom. During opening circle we sing songs, look at our season map to see where we are in our nine-week journey, and we learn and sing about a new featured creature. After we find our hidden invitation to play, explorers engage in purposeful play and exploration with the support of the teacher and caregivers. Before heading home, we read a story, have warm tea, recap our learning, express our gratitude, and focus on continuing our outdoor fun at home throughout the week.
Our Focus This Winter
This Winter, we’re focusing on persistence! Each lesson is designed to support a different aspect of persistence, inspired by the unique survival powers of a different “animal superhero.”
As kids learn ways to be active outdoors and bring the outdoors in, they’ll discover the magic of winter and how to play and learn outdoors all four seasons!
