Explorers take the next step in their education and development, learning their numbers 1-20 in English and Spanish, the English and Spanish alphabets, learning to hold a pencil, write their name, and establish their classroom readiness skills - all in our magical outdoor classrooms!

In building shelters from branches or counting objects to discern mathematical patterns, they learn not just skills, but the joy of discovery and the satisfaction of accomplishment. And in the quiet moments of reflection and meditation, they find solace and strength, grounding themselves in the beauty and wonder that surrounds them. Explorers learn language through immersion and interaction with their educators and the environment. They observe, listen, and imitate sounds and words they hear. Educators support vocabulary and comprehension by using books, language cards, and crafts to link words with images. This natural process is facilitated by repetition, feedback, and social interaction within their community. 

In natural settings, Explorers are often free to make decisions, take risks, and learn from their experiences. This fosters critical thinking skills, resilience, and adaptability as they navigate challenges and discover solutions on their own. The curriculum embraces a rich tapestry of subjects, weaving together the wonders of our natural world with the depths of human culture and understanding. It's a journey that invites not just learning, but heartfelt connection – to the earth beneath our feet, the skies above us, and the stories whispered by every rustling leaf.
