ABOUT EXPLORERS BY NATURE 

At Explorers by Nature, children are invited to play, explore and discover with their peers in a multi-age setting. Both Nature and Farm Schools are designed to focus on thematic/seasonal topics, social-emotional learning skills, as well as fueled by the curiosities children express in class.  A variety of intentional play-based nature activities, art projects, movement, science experiments, real-life skills and engineering/design challenges are gently woven into the rhythm of our day.

​​Children fall in love with nature, learn about wildlife local to California, build friendships and confidence over the course of each session and semester.  Every class features fresh and unique invitations to learn through play. Explorers by Nature is a nomadic style 100% outdoor Nature & Farm School, and we gather together in rain or shine. We meet at rotating parks, gardens and farms all around East County San Diego, including Lakeside, Jamul, El Cajon, and Santee.
