TimberNook Chesco : Downingtown, Pennsylvania

IMAGINE a place where children are FREE to explore, PLAY, take RISKS, be INSPIRED, and experience pure JOY in the great OUTDOORS! TimberNook Chesco brings THE ULTIMATE SENSORY EXPERIENCE to all children. TimberNook is not your typical nature program. TimberNook programs intricately weave the therapeutic benefits of being outdoors with a thorough understanding of child development and alternative education. The result is a sensory play experience that supports every aspect of the growing child. What makes it different from other nature programs? Most nature programs set their focus on getting children outdoors and teaching them about the environment. TimberNook shifts the focus from how the child can help the environment to how the environment helps the developing child. At TimberNook, we view outdoor play as a form of preventive health care for children. The more they engage in child-directed learning and take reasonable risks outdoors, the more they are equipped to be successful in home and school environments.
