Our Experience Stations

Art Projects Station: Taking art outdoors is a wonderful way to celebrate nature’s beauty and make use of the natural materials available in your forest classroom. Handling natural materials speaks to our senses and gives us a tactile connection with the environment.

Music Station: Music ignites all areas of child development and intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language and literacy skills. Helps the body and mind to work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words.

Dancing to music helps children develop motor skills and allows them to practice self-expression.

Reading Station: Children's books are our first introduction to the art of storytelling. Reading to children helps develop imagination, listening skills, and a lifelong love of books.

One of the most important benefits of reading to children is that it plays an important role in language and literacy development. Storytelling also offers children the opportunity to learn about feelings as they empathize with characters in a book. Children who are read to not only improve their literacy skills, but also improve their language skills.
