FAQ
What ages are your programs designed for?
Community programs are for ages 3 to 12. School programs can extend from ages 3 to 18.
What should children wear?
Comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor movement and changing weather. We share attire recommendations with parents ahead of each program.
Are the programs fully outdoors?
Yes in safe and sunny weather.
In rainy conditions, we use trusted indoor partner spaces.
How do you approach safety?
We work with clear safety guidelines, experienced and trained educators, and small group ratios.
All sessions include risk awareness, first aid readiness, and structured supervision while allowing safe exploration.
What is your educator to child ratio?
Between 1 educator per 5 to 7 children depending on age and group needs.
Do you replace traditional schooling?
Our programs complement schools and communities rather than replace them. We work in partnership with schools and communities to enrich learning through outdoor, play-based experiences that support their existing curriculum. We also develop our own nature based curriculum rooted in science, self, and society. For early childhood (ages 3 to 6), we partner with Horshna in Beirut to offer a nature based preschool experience within a shared approach to outdoor learning.
