Little Wild Ones – DRACUT-TimberNook Middlesex County-School Year 2024-2025

NEW LOCATION AND NEW SCHOOL YEAR PROGRAM !!!!!!

We are opening a new TimberNook school year program site in Dracut, MA.

This is a registration drop off class that meets to sing songs, read stories and have unstructured free play in the woods. Kids will learn to negotiate the natural fine and gross motor challenges presented in nature. They will have opportunities to work together to achieve goals and begin the basics of conflict resolution. The theme of the week will change but your child will consistently come home messy and happy.

This class is perfect for preschoolers, homeschoolers or children with flexible school schedules.  

• Children should bring a hearty snack, lunch and a refillable water bottle from home.
• Dress your child for the weather forecast in old outdoor play clothes that can get dirty and wet as well as layers and jackets that can come off and on. They will get wonderfully messy, dirty, wet, cold, hot and Happy.

TimberNook is an ALL outdoor Program.  If weather becomes hazardous such as a true blizzard, tornado, lightening storm, etc. we will either cancel the program before the start or shelter your children and call you to come pick them up if it begins to become hazardous during the daily program.  We attempt to do makeups if we have to cancel a daily class but do not guarantee make up classes.
