Outdoor learning fosters a sense of well-being, as children benefit from fresh air, natural light and physical activity.
Outdoor learning in this setting offers young children a unique and enriching experience that is not only fun but also crucial for their developmental growth. For children aged 2 to 5, the outdoors becomes a dynamic classroom that encourages exploration, creativity and problem-solving.
Children are actively engaged in outdoor activities like climbing, running, jumping, balancing and exploring. These activities help strengthen their gross motor skills, coordination and overall physical development. At this age, children are naturally full of energy, and outdoor learning allows them to burn off energy while honing physical skills that form the foundation for later development.
We encourage children to choose their own exploration and learning paths, fostering independence, self-confidence and decision-making. They also learn to take safe risks, developing responsibility for their well-being and choices.
We foster teamwork, communication, and emotional resilience in young children through collaborative activities like building dens or playing games. Nature also helps reduce stress, promoting calm and positive emotions.
The forest environment is full of opportunities to stimulate a child's curiosity. Whether it’s observing animals, identifying plants, or overcoming challenges, the natural world offers endless learning opportunities. As children interact with their surroundings, they develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and an understanding of cause and effect. These hands-on experiences encourage a deeper connection to the world and lay the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning.
