Wednesdays in the Garden
Fall Session I: (7 weeks) Wednesdays, September 9-October 21 | 10-11 am
Fall Session II:(7 weeks) Wednesdays, October 28-December 16 (no class 11/25) 10-11 am
Wednesdays in the Garden offers a nurturing and joyful space for our youngest learners, aged 1-3, to explore, play, and grow. Together with their caregivers, children will discover the wonders of the natural world and Lynden’s unique sculpture collection through hands-on experiences that spark curiosity, wonder, and creativity.
Early childhood educators Claudia Orjuela and Denice Niebuhr will guide families through sensory-rich activities, outdoor adventures, and open-ended artmaking. Each week highlights a new theme, connecting children’s natural interests with the world around them.
Research from the National Association for the Education of Young Children shows that time outdoors supports healthier bodies, stronger minds, better sleep, and important social and emotional growth. At Lynden, we nurture these benefits by encouraging children to experiment with natural and artistic materials, tell stories, solve problems, and build relationships—all while having fun! Sessions move indoors in the event of inclement weather.
