Nature Play classes are 60 minutes and are designed for children ages 1.5-8yrs old and their caregiver. They are held at Roger Williams Park in Providence, RI. A precise location within the park grounds is provided via email prior to your class or trial.

The outdoors is our classroom and we follow the philosophy that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. In most weathers and in all four seasons, classes facilitate open-ended, exploratory, nature PLAY for children while affording the opportunity for caregivers to connect and build community. We sing, we move, we learn and we have fun!

The Tinkergarten curriculum we follow is a joy to children and adults alike, and sure to inspire you to get outdoors all week long!
