TimberNook Provider Training – Spring 2024 – FULL!

by Timber Nook | Aug 22, 2023

This training session is full. Please contact us if you are interested in training during a future training session.

TESTIMONIALS & KIND WORDS

From Parents, Teacher & Providers

Testimonial 1

“Play is a powerful tool, enabling important learning that school curricula usually do not yield. Among other things, children learn that problems can be solved in many ways. Self-directed play is especially motivating, which means children willingly repeat and repeat and repeat—until they master what they set out to learn.”

Dr. Anita Bundy
Sc.D., OT/L, FAOTA, FOTARA; Researcher & Professor

Testimonial 2

“TimberNook knows the importance of outdoor play for development. In this curriculum, they have embraced what children need most to thrive—to be part of active and fun play experiences that allow them to participate at their own pace and learn, learn, learn. They will learn about themselves and others, about how the world works and their ABCs, math, and science. I can only hope children everywhere get to experience this natural and joyous learning.”

Tovah P. Klein
Ph.D., Author of How Toddlers Thrive & Director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development

Testimonial 3

“My daughter loves this program!! One of the best programs I have seen in my almost 12 years of being a parent. I highly recommend it!”

Candace DiGiacomo

Testimonial 4

“Kids want action, movement, and even drama in their play. Through a more immersive experience, kids can change and grow. I love the idea of children transforming through play, through living stories, through full on imagination come to life.”

Kevin Kane
TimberNook Provider

Testimonial 5

“Angela’s message is profound and EVERY educator and EVERY parent needs to learn this wisdom.”

Teacher
