Natural Art of Play offers a diverse landscape of play opportunities! 

Our outdoor classroom is furnished with 

  • swings, 

  • slides, 

  • a dramatic play area complete with a mud kitchen, 

  • easels and low tables alongside ample art material (paint, glue, crayons, markers, scissors, loose part collage materials) for open-ended creating, 

  • a sandpit, 

  • a cozy area for quiet play and book reading, 

  • access to instruments, building blocks, balls, and dolls,

  • and a gathering area for songs, stories and community building. Each child will be given a journal to record their observations or inspirations for the day. 

Day to day activities, arts, and experimenting will vary based on the children’s interest in our child-led, emergent-curriculum based environment. 

Each day, children will be given the opportunity to develop their fine motor, gross motor, language, social & emotional and cognitive development.
