Backyard Classroom at the Crowe's Nest

Backyard Classroom is a weekly nature class in Fort Washington, MD for kids 2-7 yrs. We learn about the local ecosystem with fun activities and form friendships during free play in our fun backyard with a slide, rock wall, trampolines, jungle gym, and rotating fun toys. By connecting to the planet and learning about the world around them, vital skills are organically absorbed. We dive deeper into the things we see everyday and encourage play with them too (plants, animals, fungi, dirt, water, etc.). Everyone present no matter their age will increase their dexterity, observation and exploratory skills, and learn facts about their local ecosystem (our focus). You also will get an activity idea (cheap/free and very simple) to do at home with your kid(s) that will coincide with that week's activity (repetition is key!).

Unschooling, Charlotte Mason, and Montessori methods are integrated and everything is secular and nature based. Siblings under 2 are free and there's a 25% off discount for siblings 2+. Check out @NaturalNests on social media to learn more and signup for the season or attend as a drop-in.
