Our Classes

At Nature’s Schoolhouse Network, outdoor play isn’t just a break — it’s an essential part of how our students learn, create, solve problems, and connect with nature. We believe that digging, building, and getting muddy builds confidence, creativity, and joy.

Our younger groups spend their days exploring a variety of open-ended play spaces designed to spark imagination and hands-on learning:

• Dig Zone – Students can dig freely, explore soil, search for treasures, and experience cause-and-effect through earth play.
• Building Zone – A creative space where children use mud, bricks, sticks, and natural materials to design and build anything they imagine.
• Mud Kitchen – A beloved favorite! Students “cook,” mix, and create mud pies, potions, and recipes using natural materials.
• Sand Box – A calm and cozy spot for digging, sculpting, social play, and sensory exploration.

These areas encourage problem-solving, teamwork, sensory development, and imagination — all while allowing students to be fully immersed in nature.

Our older students have access to a larger, more adventurous outdoor environment that supports exploration and independence:

• Bamboo Forest – A magical space where students can explore trails, create forts, build games, and work together in nature.
• Zip Line – A student favorite that builds courage, coordination, and confidence.
• Climbing Wall – Encourages strength, balance, and perseverance while keeping play fun and challenging.

The Sea Turtle environment supports unstructured play, teamwork, leadership, and big-kid adventures.
