Provide your child the opportunity to connect with nature & other children in a therapeutic way this Spring!A growing body of research suggests that psychological and physical health improve for children when they spend time in nature on a regular basis. The Well Wilderness Kids Therapeutic Playgroups allow children to benefit from nature from a developmental perspective, including but not limited to gross/fine motor skills, visual processing, tactile, & social-emotional. The goal is for each child to experience movement & therapeutic play through all of the senses.
These 6-week playgroups will provide your child an opportunity to interact & play in a manner that will foster development of physical, social & emotional skills in an environment that is therapeutically structured yet allows a child to naturally learn & interact within their own individual comfort level. Some of the activities will include creating art with nature, social circle time with nature stories/music, zipline/climbing/swinging, & therapeutic touch with animals. Our new Farm-to-Table Feeding Groups will introduce children to various nutrient-dense foods through a playful & sensory-based approach. The kids will help grow, prepare & create their foods which research suggests helps children be more open to trying new foods.
Each program has limited spots to allow for a small therapeutic ratio. The playgroup will be led by pediatric Therapists &/or Early Interventionists specialized in Child Development & Mindfulness for children.
