Philosophy

Everyday Adventures diligently works to incorporate multiple learning styles and techniques into our outdoor and indoor learning environments. We focus on play based learning as children are more engaged in their play when it incorporates their interests and is self directed increasing their self esteem in their abilities. Our program is unique with the inclusion of nature based inspirations in the activities and materials to pique children’s interest and incorporate the natural world. As we focus on all areas of developmental skills we include both STEM and STEAM to challenge young minds in their scientific and problem solving skills.

Location

Our program is unique as we are nestled south of town in a large house in a six acre fenced six acre yard with an abundant outdoor learning area.
