New at Lyman Woods- NaturePlay School!

This discovery-based program for children ages 4-6 sets the stage for meaningful learning experiences. Lyman Woods provides the perfect outdoor setting where children can engage in nature play…not just playing in nature, but playing with nature – catching bugs, splashing in ponds, building with logs, and digging in dirt. These child-initiated activities are what make real learning take place. Children take ownership of their experiences, which in turn become more meaningful.

What better classroom than the outdoors?! So many things to count, add, subtract, name, spell, draw, and perform experiments with! Though nature play will be child-centered, our instructors are always aware of those teachable moments. Woven into this experience will be a curriculum to keep learning on task and to challenge your child daily on their road of discovery.

Ideally, being outdoors as much as possible is our goal, but if the elements warrant four walls, we can retreat to our indoor classroom space with plenty of nature to experience and experiment with.

Consider enrolling your child(ren) in our new NaturePlay School this fall. Be one of the first to take part in this exciting new program!
