THE PLAY GARDEN

Register

Welcome to The Play Garden class, a hands-on, outdoor adventure where children immerse themselves in nature, creativity, and messy, joyful exploration! Our small, intentionally curated playgroup combines the magic of mud kitchens, sensory crafts, tents and cozy hammocks, slackline balance challenges, and nature-inspired books—all designed to spark imagination, curiosity, and confidence.

Each week, children rotate through thoughtfully prepared stations that encourage open-ended play, problem-solving, and social connection, while developing fine and gross motor skills in a safe, supportive environment. From flower soup in the mud kitchen to bug-inspired crafts and wizardly potion-making, every session offers a new adventure that will have your little ones asking, “Can we play again next week?”

Why families love The Play Garden:

  • Mixed-age group (ages 2–6) encourages mentorship and cooperation

  • Intentionally small groups for a calm, supportive environment

  • Nature-based, sensory-rich play designed to stimulate imagination

  • Flexible drop-in or multi-week session options

 

Whether your child loves getting messy, climbing, balancing, or creating, The Play Garden is a joyful, enriching space to explore the outdoors, make friends, and simply be a kid.

Join us this week and let the adventure begin!

What your child will explore in their first 4 weeks:

  • Week 1: Flower Soup & Spring Kitchen – Mix petals, herbs, and water to create magical mud soups while discovering the colors and scents of spring.

  • Week 2: Mud Bakery – Bake “mud cupcakes” and decorate cardboard bakery signs in our whimsical outdoor kitchen.

  • Week 3: Potion Lab – Experiment with colorful potions, fizzing mixtures, and imaginative magical creations.

  • Week 4: Bugs & Dirt Explorers – Build bug habitats, craft woodland creatures, and discover the tiny wonders of nature.

Each week features new invitations, crafts, and outdoor adventures—your child’s imagination is the limit!

"Liesha's Play Garden class was so much fun! I'm always looking for new ways for my daughter to interact with nature and this class was filled with creative activities that she really enjoyed. There was plenty time of child-led play balanced with more structured activities like storytime and a sweet craft project. It's clear that Liesha has a passion for working with children and her enthusiasm is contagious. We will be coming every week!"
