These are two tree houses with a rope bridge (a wonderful place to perfect child’s balance and gain muscle strength) and a magical, whimsical fairy house, stirring up children’s imagination. We also added an easel for the budding artists. The Outdoor Learning Environment is open to the community and free to use any time. We feature:

The Magic of a Mud Kitchen!
Children benefit from messy, muddy play.
Dirt has microscopic bacteria that boost the immune system and increases serotonin. This hormone helps with mood (soothes, calms, helps us relax); sleep; wound healing; digestion; and bone health.
Mud is sensory. It boosts creativity and enhances fine motor skills.
Mud play is inclusive regardless of ability and developmental levels.
