Program Info
Welcome! I joyfully offer outdoor play classes following the Tinkergarten curriculum to young kids and their grownups in the Montgomery County area! We meet weekly and I guide families through songs, movement, exploration, and purposeful play.
This Spring, we focus on creativity—the ability to imagine original ideas or solutions to problems and make them happen. We’ll help kids develop creative mindsets and strategies that they can use throughout their lives to invent new things, solve problems, express their ideas and feelings, and to nurture relationships. And, we’ll do it all through enriching, outdoor play! Our lessons follow a steady progression and are organized into three units. In our Building Blocks unit, we focus on the Three B's—the three core processes that we use when we are creative. In our Creative Thinking unit, we use pretending to explore divergent thinking and discover many possible solutions to problems. In our final Creative Expression unit, we explore how we can express ideas and feelings through art, music, and movement.

About Miss Liz
Hello! My name is Liz! I was born, raised and am now raising my own 3 explorers in Montgomery County, PA (Glenside!) I make art (check it out!) and I teach English As A Second Language to children of all ages all over the world every morning. I also work at a wonderful nature preschool at a Philly area nature center! Once I found the wonders that nature brings to our children I had to share it with other families. I found Tinkergarten in 2017 and it completely reshaped the way I parent, bringing a sense of wonder to parenting while helping my children grown and learn. Advocating for nature play has become a passion of mine and I'm very excited to connect with your family!
