Nature Explore Certified Outdoor Classrooms

Nature Explore Certification is a national initiative that recognizes organizations committed to providing high-quality, nature-based outdoor classrooms. Achieving this certification involves creating a thoughtfully designed outdoor space that incorporates research-based, field-tested design principles to connect children with nature. These spaces are dynamic environments where children can engage in play and learning, fostering exploration, discovery, and creativity.

Research indicates that regular interaction with nature enhances children’s physical activity, self-discipline, stress reduction, cognitive abilities, and problem-solving skills. By providing a Certified Nature Explore Classroom, Kinderberry Hill demonstrates a commitment to these developmental benefits, offering children a unique environment that supports their growth and fosters a connection with the natural world.
