The Tender Roots Family Forest Days provide nature-based and experiential engagement and play for children, ages 3 & 4 and their parent/caregiver.
Come play under the shade of the trees…connect with nature and each other!
Every Family Forest Day, the children and their caregiver have an opportunity to explore, discover and play – with the forest as muse. The flow of each day is centered around song, story and exploration. The participants discover the wonders of nature, thus, sparking their imagination and stimulating their curiosity. Uninterrupted time for deep play is available – using the natural materials of the outdoor environment as their toys and tools – developing their fine motor skills. Using their bodies to climb, run, and jump, the children develop their gross motor skills. The holistic nature of the program invites connection to each other and nature. The program encourages healthy interaction and play between child and adult, creating holistic connections and positive relating.
