The outdoors offers limitless potential to young children. It becomes a place where they can relax their mind, be inspired, and deep dive into the world of imagination. It’s a place where they can design, create and explore. The possibilities are endless ~ Angela Hanscom

“Movement, or physical activity, is thus an essential factor in intellectual growth, which depends upon the impressions received from outside. Through movement, we come in contact with external reality, and it is through these contacts that we eventually acquire even abstract ideas.” – Maria Montessori.

Mother nature is the best classroom. Bring all your senses along for learning, dearest child.

Children can be all thumbs at times, but we can nurture their green thumbs by making gardening fun, getting their input on the garden spot, and planting their favourite trees. Our little gardeners with their healthy growing sunflowers!
“Every child is a different kind of flower, and all together make this world a beautiful garden.” “A sprout is like love. Water it and watch it grow” growing tomatoes with care and love.
Did you know eggshells can be used as fertilizers for plants? TSP children were pounding eggshells for their little garden. Regrowing plants from scraps is another way for children to appreciate the mother of nature, too.

一群小诗人们围在河边边吟唱
早晨温馨的阳光照耀
翠绿的树叶闪闪发光
云雀从天空很高很高处飞过
我低头,一片阴影落在肩头
五只公鹅,两只母鹅
伴随一窝鹅蛋
稚嫩的诗人啊
吟唱着对和薰大地的喜爱。
吟唱着微风吹拂的渴望
仿佛这世界本就在我们脚下
哪里会有什么困难呢?
至于汗水,
那又算得了什么呢?
青草挣脱大地的束缚
云雀飞过
孩子们
露出笑颜奔驰着
张着手
吟笑着
让世界重回喧闹
