All Ages Nature Class

Service Description

Hello & welcome! My name is Tressa Bergsma, a local homeschool mom of four: Brooke age 6, Atlas age 4, Blair age 3, & Zoey age 2. I set up cost-effective playgroups & classes around north Whatcom County, with a home base in Blaine. I've observed a significant demand for a space where homeschooled children can form a community and learn through play. These classes are available to everyone, with a particular focus on the local homeschooling community, as long as we maintain a happy, safe environment. Our goal is to foster our children's connection with nature and one another, cultivating friendships and community through play-based learning. Class Details: Recommended ages 1-8, but flexible. Approximately 2 hrs long $7 per child Location Changes, be sure to check the schedule! Class Structure - Unstructured play & learning for the first part of class. In every class, I will provide things like activities, crafts, & sensory play for them to enjoy. The objectives of these classes are for children to learn by playing with one another and their environment, utilizing their imaginations, and developing relationship skills. Part way through class, we will have a snack break, during which I will read a couple of books to the kids. We will occasionally offer a time to do show & tell at this time, if children choose to participate. Once done, we will resume unstructured play until they are ready to go. What to bring -  We are generally *Rain or Shine* (you will be notified via email if class is cancelled & refunded) Dress according to the weather. Please bring a snack & drink to each class. Siblings are welcome of course! *** If kids would like to bring a show & tell, they are welcome to! Price Transparency - Your payment includes materials, setup, and coordination time. You help make this happen. Thank you!!
