“Liz does an amazing job picking out relevant themes and inspiring crafts, activities and stations. We are huge fans of the all-weather play and I love how kids and parents can both learn together.

  • "Such a fun way to explore the outdoors! I loved seeing [my little one] try all the new activities. I really like how you start and end class with everyone in a circle. Who knew my son LOVES blueberry tea. Thank you for putting together such a fun exploratory learning and play environment."

    T.R.

  • "Thank you for creating a fun, interactive, hands on, outdoor learning environment for our kids! Also thank you for being an open ear to all of us when we have questions about our toddlers!"

  • "Your class was something that I looked forward to each week. It allowed me to carve out some much needed, beautifully special one on one time with my son which made us both so happy!"

    C.D.

  • "I loved how creative your activities are each week and have enjoyed using many of your ideas at home especially when trying to significantly reduce screen time. Through these efforts, I’ve also noticed [my little one’s] ability to play independently dramatically augment, his communication skills have improved and so has his behavior / temperament. His daycare teachers have even commented several times about this as well! Your classes have truly been a godsend and have just been such a positive experience in our lives."
