Nature Sensory Play at PK

An fun outdoor experience for children ages 3-5 years and a parent/relative. Please email jamette.iovino@isd197.org about younger siblings.

Join us for PK Outdoor Play, a brand-new ECFE class designed to spark curiosity, creativity,

and connection through meaningful outdoor experiences. Inspired by the natural beauty of PK

learning spaces, this class invites families to explore, discover, and grow together in nature.

Come dressed for the weather—we’ll be outside!

Each session may include hands-on activities

in our garden, nature hikes, playground exploration, and story time in the PK outdoor nature

learning area. Children will splash in puddles, plant in the garden, search for woodland treasures

during scavenger hunts, and engage in open-ended play that nurtures imagination and

confidence.

Nature-based play supports social-emotional growth, problem-solving skills, physical

development, and overall well-being. Most importantly, it gives children the freedom to explore

the world around them with wonder and joy.

Breathe the fresh air, embrace a little mud, and experience the many benefits of learning and

playing outdoors. We can’t wait to explore with you!
