A Full YEAR of Forest Play!

Join us on FRIDAYS for the 2024-2025 school year! Our unique outdoor classrooms include natural woods, walking trails, a fern and cactus marsh, swings, and a peaceful stream– everything your Wild One needs to get out and play the TimberNook way.

These diverse environments provide a playful space to help build relationships, self-awareness, social connection, enhance physical development, encourage creativity, and so much more. Each session focuses on a new theme while still offering some of the popular TimberNook favorites such as child-led play, group games, and campfire cooking. We are truly a unique forest program for families looking for something different.
