Children will learn using stories, games, seasonal experiences, and the natural environment. The TimberNook curriculum weaves together the therapeutic benefits of being outdoors with a thorough understanding of child development. The result is a sensory play experience that supports every aspect of the growing child. Each week we will have a play-based experience focusing on a component of the seasonal theme. We will also explore the natural world around us, engage our senses, and have time every day for deep, authentic play.

Our site offers opportunities for individual and group play amidst a beautiful wooded area equipped with rope swings, materials for building and plenty of room to run. We make every effort to accommodate any child who wishes to attend our program.

• This program is offered one or two days a week and runs in 6-week sessions.
• TimberNook is a 100% outdoor program and we love to play in the rain (emergency shelter available for lightning). Weather appropriate attire for rain and snow is required and essential.  We ask that each child is equipped with insulated rain boots.
• A change of clothes and an extra pair of close toed shoes  recommended. Please expect kids to come home dirty!
• Children will need a snack and bagged lunch each day and refillable water bottle.
• All programs are led by a licensed OT. Staff is first aid/CPR trained and background checked.
• More details will be emailed to you prior to the start of the program.
• This is a drop-off program. Drop off begins at 5 min till 9:00 and all children should be picked up promptly at 1:00.

COVID-19 Related Policies:

• There will be a pre-screening procedure that includes keeping a record of temperatures and possible COVID exposure for the two weeks prior to program and every morning upon arrival at camp.  Anyone with any sign of illness will be asked to stay home.
• Handwashing will occur upon arrival, before eating times, after using the bathroom and before leaving. We will spend time on coaching proper handwashing techniques.
• Children will not be required to wear masks, but will need to have one with them and will be supported if they choose to wear it.
• Staff will wear masks when interacting with parents or in close proximity to children.
• Meal times and circle time will be modified to give children more space.
