Fully Outdoors
This multi-age class meets twice a week and rotates through three locations in Shoreline, allowing us to explore the forest and the beach across the seasons. Caregivers will drop off one day each week and stay to assist the class one day each week. Each day children will have free play in nature, go on a walk or hike, get messy, and follow a daily rhythm that includes snack, stories, and songs. Our teacher will help ensure that families are prepared to layer clothing strategically and acquire needed gear in order to stay warm and dry year-round (gear discounts available). Families should expect that classes will be canceled under certain weather advisories. This class can be taken on its own or in tandem with our Imagineers or Inventors classes in order to arrange a 5-day school week.
