Common Questions, Real Answers

  • What is this place and what do you offer?

    Back 2 Nature Learning Center is a sacred and beautiful nature school where children JUST play outside. It’s a 100% outdoor classroom, it’s a little messy and muddy but wholesome. Our classes are held outdoors year-round, benefiting from fresh air and natural immune system boosts. Being outdoors for children and adults is such a rewarding experience.

    We offer a variety of nature classes, play days, homeschool classes and fun family events throughout the year.

  • Will my child be a good fit for nature school?

    All humans need to spend time outdoors. We believe that everyone can benefit from being exposed to nature however, our play zones do encourage messy play.

    For our drop-off programs - they are fully outdoors and child-led. Kids should be able to follow directions and stay safe in an open setting.

  • How do children learn outside?

    Children learn naturally through hands-on experiences and outdoor play. At Back 2 Nature Learning Center, everyday moments become opportunities to practice:

    • Math: Counting rocks, measuring sticks, sorting leaves, and recognizing patterns.

    • Science: Observing insects, exploring plant growth, experimenting with water, and learning about ecosystems.

    • Literacy: Listening to stories, building vocabulary, sharing observations, and creating nature-inspired stories.

    • Critical thinking: Solving problems, testing ideas, making predictions, and learning through trial and error.

    • Art and creativity: Exploring shapes, colors, textures, and creating with natural materials.

    • Social studies: Learning about community, caring for living things, and understanding our relationship with the environment.

    Research shows that nature-based learning can support cognitive development, creativity, problem-solving, physical health and social-emotional skills.
