We believe a parent is a child’s most important teacher. We’re here to provide a framework, guidance and support for you and your child to enjoy these enriching experiences together.
What is Tinkergarten?
Tinkergarten offers outdoor, play-based education classes for kids 18 months to 8 years old and a treasured adult. Both kids and adults learn and grow together in the best classroom of all—nature!
At Tinkergarten:
• Play is learning. Inspired and guided play is powerful learning.
• Learning is child-directed, adult-supported.
• Learning is fun, joyful, and full of wonder.
• Learning is social for children and adults.
• It’s always outside! Nature is the most inspiring, challenging, stimulating and refreshing classroom we could imagine.
• Leaders are coaches—here to guide the kids and the adults. If you are curious about how your child learns and what you can do to support them, leaders can help.
