Tinkergarten Northern Hudson Valley

Tinkergarten® provides engaging early childhood education in the healthiest classroom of all—the outdoors. We match families with leaders in their local community who offer activity-based kids classes that help them develop the skills that matter most—all while having fun!

Nearly 1000 families have enjoyed Tinkergarten®, most of whom return again for more. Parents call the program “wonderful,” “delightful,” “smart,” “deeply educational” and “transformative.” Tinkergarten® enables parents everywhere to help their kids develop, grow and better prepare by learning outside together. We run classes that are pure fun and memorable for kids. Classes are based on our blueprint curriculum of play-based outdoor activities that are age-appropriate and designed for learning, all while parents and caregivers learn how to support, kids get their bodies moving, and work together in the most peaceful corners of our natural green spaces.

“It's the first time he's ever asked how he can keep taking a class once it's over.”

—Molly, mom to a 4-year-old explorer (now a nearly 6-year-old, still exploring!)
