Learning Through Nature in Every Season

Outdoor learning looks different throughout the year. Warm-weather programs create opportunities for gardening, building, balancing, hiking, creating art and investigating plants and animals. During Vermont winters, snow and ice become part of the learning environment, encouraging movement, problem-solving, observation and new ways to experience familiar places.

Our educators support child-led exploration while helping children develop confidence, independence, cooperation and a deeper relationship with the natural world. Learn more about the people who guide these experiences on our Our Team page.

Nature-Based Early Childhood Education
