Location: Our classes are held at 16610 South Avenue A, Somerton, AZ 85350
Sick/Absent Policy: Our classes are held outdoors year-round, benefiting from fresh air and natural immune system boosts, which help reduce transmission rates. Please keep your child home if they are sick or feeling unwell.
Drop-offs, Pick-Ups & Peace of Mind: We know life doesn’t always go as planned. If you’re running late for drop-off or pick-up, just send us a quick text to let us know.
Inclusivity Policy: Outdoor time benefits everyone, and we encourage everyone to spend more time outside! However, a drop-off nature school program like The Wild Classroom might not suit every child. Factors such as dressing appropriately year-round and following directions in a potentially hazardous setting are important. You can always try our Village Wildlings class first to see if we are a good fit for your family. -
Safety in the Wild
What to Bring:
* A water bottle (we have a refill station)
* Extra set of clothes (for the ride home)
* Play clothes & shoes that can get messy
Label all items! We are not responsible for lost personal belongings.
We have outdoor showers and extra towels if needed.
Playing Safe in a Wild World: Your child’s safety is our top priority.
Our staff are CPR & First Aid certified and carry first aid kits and phones. We model and teach risk awareness, emotional check-ins, and self-care.
Outdoor play supports confidence, physical awareness, and healthy decision-making.
Children who are accustomed to playing outside typically experience fewer injuries than those who are not. This is because they have the opportunity to practice real-life risk assessment, develop essential gross motor skills, and learn about their physical limits. These early experiences contribute to a lifetime of self-awareness and safety in outdoor settings. Within our safety guidelines, children have the freedom and security to explore, play, and learn to their fullest potential.
