ALL WEATHER PLAY
We believe that outdoor play should be embraced in all types of weather.
Playing outside in the rain or in cold weather is not only fun, but also an important part of developing a child’s senses, wellbeing, and most importantly, a healthy immune system.
No matter the season, our outdoor environments offer unique and abundant opportunities to connect with nature and allow children to see, understand and experience seasonal changes and the different elements. Children have deeper conversations around nature, demonstrating a greater sense of awe and curiosity, and a greater level of respect and a love for nature.
We strive to foster an appreciation of the natural environment, rain or shine* as this allows for more meaningful learning opportunities around environmental issues and sustainability.
*Educators will always ensure children’s comfort, safety, and protection from the elements. Our education team is aware of risks associated with harsh or dangerous weather in such circumstance’s children will not be permitted to go outdoors.
