I am thrilled to update that the renovation of a new 2 room schoolhouse at Oak Ridge Nature School is complete! This new building provides our students with a nature-based learning environment and aligns perfectly with our mission to promote hands-on, experiential learning in a natural setting.
One of the key features of this new schoolhouse is the gross motor area. This indoor play space is designed to provide a safe place for students to play and learn during severe weather. The space is equipped with plenty of room for active play and gross motor development, so students can continue to stay active and engaged, no matter the weather outside.
I am pleased to share that our first winter in the new school house was exactly all that we hoped it would be and the children love it!
In addition to the gross motor area, this new schoolhouse offers a dedicated learning space that allows us to provide a full preschool and homeschool enrichment learning center, with individualized lessons based on each child's own abilities and skills.
Our classroom is designed for hands-on learning and exploration. The space is equipped with natural play materials, such as wooden blocks, loose parts, and other materials that encourage children to use their imagination and creativity.
The renovation of this new 2 room schoolhouse was completed in March 2023, and I have witnessed the positive impact it has had on our students and our nature school as a whole. I believe that these improvements have enhanced our students' learning experience and provided a more engaging, hands-on environment for them to grow and thrive.
I am so excited to continue our journey as Oak Ridge Nature School and can't wait to see the positive impact it will have on our future students, families, and community. If you have any questions about the renovation or the new preschool program, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your continued support of our nature school
