Tinkering with loose parts allows students to answer the question, What happens if ? Without right or wrong answers, students are on a path of discovery. Building with loose parts to answer the question What happens if ? leads children to basic mathematical concepts and simple physics. Our Outdoor Classroom ensures students are well connected to nature and includes a mud-kitchen and space to make music on real, found, and created instruments.
