Building wonder and connection to the natural world through sensory exploration, play, and hands‑on discovery in the garden.
The Early Years curriculum introduces our youngest learners to the joy of growing. Through sensory‑rich experiences in the garden, children develop foundational observation skills, empathy for living things, and an early understanding of where food comes from. Activities are designed to be playful, collaborative, and deeply rooted in the rhythms of nature.
Recognize that plants are living things that need water, light, and soil to grow
Identify common vegetables, fruits, and herbs by sight, touch, and smell
Demonstrate care for plants through watering, weeding, and gentle handling
Observe and describe seasonal changes in the garden using words and drawings
Understand that food comes from the earth — not just the market
Work cooperatively with classmates in garden tasks
