playing outdoors year round

We use inquiry and nature-based curriculum to get families outdoors together and help kids learn, develop, and grow important skills, all through playful and inquiry-based experiences.
TINKER TOTS
Play-based outdoor “parent and me” classes designed for infants and toddlers (6-36 months) accompanied by a caregiver. We meet weekly for seasonal sessions, playing through songs, reading, movement, walks in the park, and age-appropriate exploration. These classes have an emphasis on sensory play, language development, socialization, and community building for children and adults.
Tinker “School” is the ideal place for your young explorer to experience the joy of self-directed learning through curated play invitations, small group activities, literacy, numeracy and social-emotional skill building all in a unique outdoor setting. See your explorer's full potential bloom each week side-by-side through leader-led circle and story time, connection with peers, play-based learning, and individualized instruction. Classes include intentional time and space for adults to learn, reflect, and build community.
