The Developmental Jackpot: Nature supports learning, creativity and social skills
Caulbridge School offers play-based TK-Kindergarten and Grades 1 and 2 on our beautiful nature campus. Now enrolling.
Nature has been called the 'developmental jackpot' when it comes to building healthy brains, bodies and the social emotional life of children.
"Spending time outside can help children better manage emotions, pay attention, and be able to learn" notes Children & Nature Network’s Milligan Toffler. This occurs because being outdoors in nature creates an ideal state for sensory integration to happen, explains Angela Hanscom, a pediatric occupational therapist and founder of TimberNook. “Organization of the senses and organization of the brain, in general, are found to help children cope with emotions, pay attention in school, and be able to learn,” says Hanscom, whose work focuses on sensory and attention issues in children.
Caulbridge School, a private K-8 School, is now enrolling in our play-based TK and Kindergarten and space available in Grades One and Two for 2017-18 school year. Visit our beautiful nature campus. Schedule a tour today, email admissions@CaulbridgeSchool.org or call 415-481-1243.
