Our Nature Explore Classroom is a unique and thoughtfully designed space crafted to support holistic development and learning. It caters to children of all ages, inviting them to explore, experiment, create, and discover. The outdoor space is filled with interactive elements that encourage children to engage with the natural world, sparking their curiosity and imagination.

A unique highlight of our classroom is our use of natural materials for play and learning. Tree trunks serve as balance beams, while designated dirt-digging areas invite exploration. These activities foster physical development and offer opportunities for children to learn about cooperation and caring for the
environment.

Our educators have observed that children truly thrive in this setting, gaining confidence and becoming more socially active. The natural environment creates a calming yet stimulating atmosphere that encourages exploration and play. Families have shared touching stories about how their children have blossomed through their experiences in our outdoor classroom, demonstrating the profound impact of nature on emotional and social development.

Over the past year, our Nature Explore Classroom at Dimensions Education Programs in Lincoln, NE, has flourished and evolved, creating a vibrant and enriching space for children, families, and the local community. We are thrilled to showcase several key enhancements and initiatives that have further
transformed our outdoor learning environment.

Our achievements this year also reflect the unwavering support from our community. We are truly grateful for the contributions from educators, families, and volunteers who have generously given their time and resources to enhance our classroom. From their relentless efforts, our three Nature Explore Classrooms remain both inviting and educational.

We are thankful for the stories shared by families and community members which highlight the transformative power of our Nature Explore Classroom. As we continue to enhance our space, we eagerly anticipate creating even more opportunities for children to learn, grow, and connect with nature.
