WOODLAND RANGERS

THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR THE DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES OF THESE WONDERFUL BEGINNING ELEMENTARY YEARS. WE ENGAGE & LEARN THROUGH MOVEMENT & FULL SENSORY ACTIVITIES & NATURE LESSONS. WE RUN THIS PROGRAM BY SEMESTER FOR CONTINUITY, ROUTINE & STRONG FRIENDSHIP BUILDING.

​

WE LEARN RHYTHMICALLY WITH THE SEASONS, AND STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT. WE FOUNDATIONALLY LEARN – HOW TO LEARN WITH DELIGHT IN A COMFORTABLE & ENGAGING ENVIRONMENT. OUR SPACES INCLUDE GARDENS, PLACES TO BUILD FORTS IN OUR LITTLE WOODS & FARMYARD, A SEASONAL STREAM AND POND. WE LEARN ASIDE AT TIMES A LAMB GRAZING, INQUISITIVE MINIATURE GOAT, AND OTHER FARM ANIMALS THAT WE CAN OBSERVE AND PET. ANIMALS BRING A CALM TO MANY CHILDREN & EXPAND THEIR EXPERIENCES AND EXPOSURES. SOMETIMES THEY BECOME THE LESSON.

WE LEARN CONCEPTS LIKE ENGINEERING, MATH, TEAMWORK & A SENSE OF SPATIAL AWARENESS WITH FORT BUILDING. WE BALANCE & DEVELOP OUR VESTIBULAR SENSES HELPING CONCENTRATION & LEARNING. WE ALSO LEARN WITH GAMES, MOVE, RUN, CRAFT & ENJOY ART.
