TIke Hikes Outdoor Preschool

About TIke Hikes Outdoor Preschool

Tike Hikes Outdoor Preschool’s curriculum revolves around our 3 pillars: Education, Exploration, and Conservation. Education The Reggio Emilia Approach At Tike Hikes Outdoor Preschool, we believe in not only helping your child develop a connection with the environment but also with themselves, their peers, and their communities. This is why our curriculum is inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach. Exploration Safety always comes first. Our classes are held exclusively outdoors and safety is always in the forefront of every parent’s mind. All teachers are CPR and First-Aid Certified. They are also outdoor enthusiasts that are trained and skilled in trail safety. We keep our class sizes small with a teacher: student ratio of 1:3-5 and perform activities in a safe manner to ensure that our children are always supervised and out of harm’s way. Classes feature an exploratory hike integrated with our kinesthetic learning method where students have a hands-on opportunity to interact, experience, and discover their natural surroundings at their own pace. We also integrate the use of scientific tools to learn and explore bio-diverse environments, plants, and animals in a safe and respectful manner. Conservation By fostering a love for nature in our classroom, children will develop the skills and the passion to allow them to become lifelong stewards for the environment in which they live. The practice of these skills in their day-to-day life will help educate others on the positive impact of environmental conservation. As a matter of respect for our environment we teach and practice the principles of “Leave No Trace.” We emphasize the importance of staying on trails to minimize damage to our ecosystem. We also leave it as we find it by picking up after ourselves and others to keep wildlife wild and preserve our classroom for others to enjoy it just as we did.
