NaturePlay School - First Day!

Yesterday marked the beginning of our brand-new NaturePlay School Program! 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.

Had some free-play time in the Wild Woods:

And put out some sugar to see what kinds of visitors they could attract:

 The explorers also sang songs...

and had a healthy snack!
