Tinkergarten brings high quality early childhood education to a park near you. We believe that the richest learning environment is outdoors, and independent exploration and well-designed play-based activities are the keys to developing a host of important capabilities, including self reliance, creativity, persistence and grit, and problem solving. Our expert-designed curriculum helps kids ages 1-8 years old develop, grow and better prepare, while they enjoy fun, engaging experiences in the physical freedom of their local green space. Tinkergarten classes are led by trained, certified leaders, often parents, who bring a healthy, social, and engaging learning experience to their community. Tinkergarten is rapidly expanding nationally, with classes now offered in over 50 locations across 14 states, including New York/Tri state area, New England, California, and Texas. Anyone can nominate a leader and bring Tinkergarten to their community.
