Playground
Explore, Socialize, Learn

Spending time outdoors is an essential part of a child's day; they get exercise, are happier, and are better able to concentrate.  At Red Barn we go outside rain or shine!  The first part of each day is spent on the playground where a less-structured environment allows children to explore nature, learn how to be good friends, practice taking turns, exercise sharing skills, and enhance their coordination.  Even the veggie beds are a favorite spot for children to stop and enjoy the fruits of their labors.  Teaching staff are always present to provide guidance or introduce additional activities.  Children staying all day will spend more time outside after lunch before continuing the afternoon program.
