Spring/Empahy season Registration is OPEN!
Welcome to our outdoor classroom designed for ages 1.5-8yrs old and their caregivers!
Each season, we help children to develop one of our 8 core skills they'll need to become curious, capable learners who can contribute to their world. This Spring season, it's EMPATHY. Read how kids develop Empathy here.
The season consists of nine Spring/Empathy series lessons, designed in three units to help build three components of empathy:
Unit 1: "Our Feelings" (weeks 1-3): Emotional empathy - understanding our own emotions.
Unit 2: "Our Friends" (weeks 4-6): Cognitive empathy - understanding how other people feel.
Unit 3: "Our Community" (weeks 7-9): Compassionate Empathy - taking action to care for ourselves and others.
Tuition: $200 for the Spring/Empathy season (prorated if you join later).
When: 3/29/2025-05/24/2025
weekly on Saturdays, 10:30am-11:30am.

About me:
My name is Jane, I moved from Russia in 2016 with my husband. Our own two kids (5 and 2 y.o.) accompany me during our classes and they have been the main reason I fell in love with the hands-on, nature-based learning that develops social-emotional skills, critical thinking, fine/gross motor skills and more!
I've been in education for a wile:
- 4 years of experience teaching ESL;
- developed multiple learning programs for kids and teenagers including ESL, Art, Engineering and Mandarin for kids;
- certified Tinkergarten teacher since Spring 2020;
- 2 years of leading my own outdoor learning program in Fall City, WA.
I utilize Tinkergarten curriculum to guide families through songs, movement, exploration and purposeful play. During the class children are encouraged to get messy and dirty, come up with their own ideas and explore the nature.
