At The House of Learning, we believe the outdoors is the perfect classroom—even without a designated outdoor area! Here’s how we creatively incorporate outdoor experiences into our curriculum to enhance your child’s development:

How We Take Learning Outside:
Nature Walks: every walk sparks curiosity, builds observation skills, and teaches respect for the environment.
Water Play: Pouring, scooping, and splashing enhance fine motor skills and introduce early science concepts!

Planting & Gardening: Children learn responsibility and patience while caring for plants and observing life cycles.
Bug Hunts & Treasure Hunts: Exploring with friends promotes teamwork, problem-solving, and social skills.
Outdoor Yoga & Storytelling: Storytime beneath the open sky promotes language development and enhances concentration. A change in environment during simple activities aids in enhancing focus and attention.

Movement Play & Motor Skills: Riding tricycles, parachute games, and ball play develop coordination, balance, and gross motor abilities.
Why does outdoor Play Matters? Boosts Brain Power: Outdoor experiences support cognitive growth by stimulating curiosity and imagination.
Strengthens Muscles & Motor Skills: Running, jumping, and being active promote coordination and physical strength.

Encourages Social Skills: Group play improves communication and teamwork.
Reduces Stress & Enhances Mood: Nature is proven to lower anxiety and improve emotional well-being.
How We Keep Your Child Safe:
Risk Assessments: Every outdoor activity undergoes thorough risk assessments of the area and resources used.
Close Supervision: Our staff ensures fun and safety go hand-in-hand.
Weather Checks & Hydration: We keep our children safe from extreme weather and ensure they stay hydrated.
