For families with young kids, spending purposeful time outside is more important than ever. To thrive in this dynamic world, children need outdoor play experiences that deliver the hands-on lessons, valuable social interactions, multiple sensory engagement and restorative activity. Experiencing enriching outdoor moments is essential, but it isn’t always easy. Getting outside might be a simple first step, but for a lot of us, knowing what to do next—and how to make it count— just doesn’t come naturally.
Here at Roots & Wings Outdoor Learning, families are encouraged to get outside and make the most of their kids’ early learning years. Roots & Wings uses the Tinkergarten curriculum, which is a dynamic blend of unstructured play and guided activities that encourage children to engage with the wonders of nature.
Under the guidance of skilled facilitators who understand the importance of child-led learning, children and their caregivers are invited to join a supportive community that values outdoor engagement as a pivotal component of early education. Through sensory-rich activities and interactive play, children develop vital skills such as problem-solving, communication, and collaboration while building a foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
Every child is accepted and celebrated for wherever and whoever they are, and our grown-ups are provided with various resources to support their child’s learning as they grow. Families who attend weekly sessions will feel inspired and confident to replicate fun, engaging and super-simple play invitations at home. It makes purposeful outdoor play doable for every family!
