Daily Rhythm
Our days are all about giving kids the freedom to explore, follow their interests, and learn through play while connecting with nature. We keep transitions simple, so the focus stays on what really matters—letting kids play. As Einstein put it, "Play is the highest form of research."
9:00am –9:30am
Drop-off
Children arrive and settle in with unstructured play and exploration. This open time allows them to naturally observe, ask questions, and interact with their surroundings at their own pace.
9:30am-10:00am
Snack
This short gathering fosters a sense of community and helps us center our energy for the day. We share a healthy snack and enjoy a book together.
10:00am –11:00am
Free play
Children engage in uninterrupted exploration and play. They follow their curiosity—whether it’s building, climbing, observing insects, or investigating plants. Educators offer gentle guidance as needed, fostering natural learning without structured activities.
11:00am –11:30am
Lunch
We pause for a lunch break, where children refuel and connect. Afterward, we have a relaxed story time that often relates to the theme of the week.
11:30am-12:30pm
Small group
Children have the option to explore a teacher-provided activity with open-ended materials and prompts or engage in their own imaginative, child-led exploration.
12:00-12:45 am
Pick-up
At the end of the day, the children come together for a final story or to share their favorite moments, discoveries, and lessons from their adventures. They leave with a sense of calm, a spark of wonder, and plenty of stories to tell about their time in nature.
