Your child will commune with and learn from nature in our flexible outdoor garden rooms, Exploration, Learning and Creation stations.    

Imaginations run wild as littles experience many textures, colors, shapes and wildlife forms.  They observe life and seasonal cycles, plant, tend and harvest vegetables, herbs and flowers and tend our worm bin. Native and pollinator attracting plants and flowers, butterflies, bees, lizards, slugs, snails, bugs, roly polys dragonflies and birds are abound.  

Children explore hidden garden nooks, enjoy walls for sitting or walking on, built in concrete benches with comfy pillows and cushions, and activate their senses with mosaics, statues and art, a pebble garden, Exploration Stations, sensory tubs, sand, mud and water tubs, a play kitchen, a tent fort and stepping stones. 

In our tent fort, mock river and mini ocean we'll learn about camping and wilderness skills, indigenous peoples' (local and worldwide ) cultures and traditions as well as the ecosystems-- flora and fauna, that sustains/ed them.  We'll practice lacing, beading, weaving and fiber arts, gathering, fishing, food preparation, tool and shelter making, potion and plant dye making, music making, sand, mandala and pictograph art.

LittleLiving’s front yard is sheltered by a huge shady elm tree with mottled bark.  An Acacia tree, Umbrella tree, Bottlebrush, Bamboo and Honeysuckle house several types of birds and feature flowers in the Spring and Summer and drop leaves and seeds in the Fall, providing opportunities for seasonal observations, leaf pile jumping, and seed, leaf, twig and bark collection.

Your little one will learn in safe, cozy, comfortable spaces that allow for focus or expand to accommodate active imaginations and active minds and bodies.
