Location:

Montessori School of Westfield Backyard

800 Sycamore St., Westfield, IN  46074

Our programs are located in the woods behind the Montessori School of Westfield at the end of a residential street-Sycamore St.- right in the heart of downtown Westfield.  You can access Sycamore St. from East Street, which is just east of Union Street and north of Hwy 32 (or Main Street in Westfield). Tucked inside the woods are hanging tires, a slackline, climbing ropes, trees to climb, trails, a spinning swing, natural bridges and obstacles,  gardens, muddy areas, and a wide open grassy field. There are plenty of opportunities to discover wildlife under rocks, inside logs, and in the trees, where you’ll find insects, worms, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, toads, and birds. Multiple generations have enjoyed exploring and playing in our woods, and we are helping the youngest ones to make their own discoveries and create new adventures!

Please consider the following when determining if TimberNook is a good fit for your child:

• We maintain a ratio of 6 children to 1 staff member.
• Our staff takes a hands-off approach, allowing children to develop their problem-solving and conflict resolution skills while maintaining visual contact and stepping in when safety concerns them.
• Children must always keep a TimberNook staff member in sight, stay within the designated boundaries of our site, and take care of their own needs (such as eating, drinking, and using the restroom).
• We are an inclusive program and invite participation from children of all abilities.  Please reach out if you feel your child may need additional support to participate so we can plan.
