Nature Stay and Play

Share in the wonder of nature as we learn and play together in our shaded forest play area. We’re following a Tinkergarten curriculum, an outdoor play-based curriculum that incorporates a combination of physical, mental and emotional health.

Each season, we help children to develop one of our 8 core skills they'll need to become curious, capable learners who can contribute to their world. 

  • This Summer, we focus on kids' sensory development. Our senses are central to how we experience the world, how we behave, and how we learn. 

  • We'll help each child strengthen and balance their senses, and we’ll do it all through enriching, outdoor play!

The core lessons follow a steady progression and are organized into three units:

  1. In our Famous Five unit (lessons 1-3), we’ll activate the senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch (June 14, 21, 28)

  2. In our Hidden Senses unit (lessons 4-6), we’ll focus on integrating multiple senses at once and introduce two hidden senses that, though less known, have a major impact on how kids feel and learn—the vestibular system and proprioception. (July 5, 12, 19)

  3. In our final Sense of Joy and Wonder unit (lessons 7-9), three very special lessons designed to help us explore the senses we love most at Tinkergarten! (July 26, August 2 and 9)

This program is for children 1.5-8 years old and meets in Orlando, FL. This is not a drop-off program. Caregivers must stay with their child. We encourage caregiver participation in the program.
