meet your outdoor educator
Who your child experiences the outdoors with can shape the way they feel about it.
And trust us, you want them with Jessica.
Jessica + outdoors + young children = magic
She notices what children notice.
The bug.
The rotted log.
The hole that could definitely be deeper.
And she thinks it’s all just as fascinating as they do.
She knows when to wonder alongside them, when to offer a challenge, when to help, and when to step back and let children figure something out for themselves. Learn more about Jessica here.
imagine their morning
They might spend twenty minutes following a bug.
Build something that absolutely cannot be called a fort because apparently it is a dragon hospital.
Run down a trail. Climb a rock. Invent a game. Get into an argument. Figure it out. Find tracks. Dig a hole. Ask eleven thousand questions.
And come home muddy, tired, happy, and full of stories.
(And let’s be honest, you’re happy to have had a little time to yourself. Warm. Dry. Quiet.)
If you believe childhood is meant to be spent outdoors, you’ve found your people.
Yep. We really mean outdoors.
This is a fully outdoor program, September through June.
Your child’s drop-offs might look like:
sunshine on a crisp fall morning, with a pumpkin latte waiting for you afterward (we love lattes too, btw)
rain coming sideways under your umbrella while you wonder how they could possibly have fun in this weather (we promise, they will)
snow-covered trails and a child who announces they have to pee approximately thirty seconds after you finish layering them up (don’t worry — we’re used to it)
And honestly?
We love all of it.
Because children learn that weather doesn’t have to put life on hold. They learn what their bodies need, how to stay warm and comfortable, how to adapt — and, very often, that what grown-ups call “bad weather” makes for a pretty awesome day.
(And of course, safety comes first. We cancel for truly unsafe temperatures or conditions.)
let us make the magic happen
You want your child to have a childhood full of fresh air, muddy knees, wandering, wondering, and long stretches of time outside.
You know it’s what’s best for them.
But life is life.
You have work to do. Dinner to make. Things to get done. And sometimes you don’t want muddy fingers on your clothes or for everyone to get dragged into the rain because your child desperately wants to rescue the worms.
That’s what we’re here for.
You can give your child long, glorious stretches of outdoor childhood with educators who think the puddle, the worm, the weird stick, and the question that takes forty-five minutes to answer are every bit as magical as your child does.
And you get the best part: the pictures, the stories, and the chance to see the world all over again through their eyes.
Come see your child here.
Meet us, see the space, ask your questions, and let your child explore.
You’ll know immediately if this is where your want your child spending their time.
