The Maple Hill Play Garden

The Maple Hill Play Garden offers a small, inclusive early childhood program – focusing on equity and abundant time outdoors that nourishes the joy and wonder of a simple childhood. Our teachers provide a warm, nurturing environment in which play is the heart of the child’s morning. Teachers work to hold space for children whom our society currently, historically, and systematically oppress. Backing the Larch Hill Conservation lands, The Maple Hill Play Garden’s outdoor playscape provides children with ample opportunities for exploration into the magical nooks and crannies of the natural world. The program cultivates a gentle and consistent daily rhythm that helps to ground children in themselves and a sense of place. Hot, nourishing, organic meals and snacks are provided, along with outdoor gear (full-body rain /snow suits; boots; and waterproof mittens), and diapering/nap gear.
