Bloomington Community Education

The outdoors has so much to explore even in our own backyard. In this class parents/caregivers and teachers will help the children learn science, math and literacy as well as building the beginning skills of friendships as they explore the outdoor classroom at Washburn. Our licensed early childhood teachers will focus on helping children play alongside each other, taking turns, and eventually learn to share all while outside in our nature playground. Learning activities in this class may include art, songs, sensory activities, and reading. In the event of inclement weather, this class will take place inside.

This is a non separating class.

Learning goals for this class are:

Children will have parent support to navigate the outdoor environment, peer relationships, and learning experiences.

Adults/Caregivers will gain skills to support young children to develop friendships.
