The Rainbow Garden
The wonder of caring for a garden and learning about nature provides an abundance of learning opportunities for young children. They can do everything from growing fruits and vegetables and learning about the environment to raising butterflies and observing wildlife, all of which have positive effects on their health and development. Inspiring their curiosity about the world around them, they’ll also improve their fine and large motor skills and gain new language art, math, science, and art experiences.
The Rainbow Garden is inspired by Smart Love Preschool's Nature and Garden curriculum and is designed for children ages 2 through 6 years old. Be sure to ensure a non-pressure environment and your toddler, too, will blossom!
