Outdoor classroom

At Green Grass Nursery, we believe that learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Our outdoor classroom experience for early years is a cornerstone of our educational philosophy. It’s not just about playing in the fresh air it’s about fostering holistic development, nurturing curiosity, and building a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Nature as the Ultimate Outdoor Classroom

Our outdoor classroom transforms the natural world into an open-air learning environment. Surrounded by the sights, sounds, and textures of nature, children engage their senses and develop a deep appreciation for the world around them. Whether its observing birds in the trees, planting seeds in our garden, or building with sticks and stones, workshop every moment outdoors is a lesson waiting to be discovered.

Through outdoor experiences, children develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking. They learn about cause and effect, consequences of their actions, and the interconnectedness of the natural world. Whether it’s discovering the life cycle of a butterfly or conducting simple experiments with water and sand, our outdoor classroom is a laboratory of exploration.

Physical Development & Building Social Skills

Physical activity is fundamental to a child’s development. Our outdoor classroom offers ample opportunities for children to run, jump, climb, and explore. These activities not only improve their motor skills but also promote a healthy lifestyle. Moreover, exposure to natural light and fresh air contributes to overall well-being and boosts immune systems. Outdoor play encourages cooperation and teamwork. Children learn to share, take turns, negotiate, and communicate effectively with their peers. These social skills are vital for a child’s emotional and social development and set the stage for positive relationships in the future.
