Learning through play is supported outside, using natural, open ended materials that lets the children decide how to play rather than being used for a single purpose.  The children have 2 hours of outside play each day -once in the morning and again in the afternoon.  This group often utilizes nearby playgrounds, Fish Creek Park and community association amenities as part of their program.  

With a tire mountain to jump from, a bike path to race on, a giant sandbox for digging and pouring this yard allows for creative ways to burn energy and develop their coordination.  Added are gardens the children plant in the spring and harvest in the fall to feed our pets and include in our kitchen which shows children where food comes from and the process it takes to grow.  Outside play is a favourite time of day to let loose and have fun.
