Out Program
City Country School is an urban school with a country soul. We understand that for small children to find the feeling of wide-open newness that nature can provide it is not necessary to actually be in the countryside (though that would be really, really nice). To benefit from the restorative capacity of nature, a child can lie under some bushes and watch the light filter through the leaves. In the patios of both schools there are plants to lie under, water and sand to play with, wooden structures to climb on, a kitchen garden to plant, water, weed and harvest.
During Out the children explore neighborhood parks for free play to help the children develop their play and to wean them from their dependence on the feedback and approval of others. They use materials such as ropes, blankets, and other items to create and play, both together and alone. They make swings, create tents, climb trees, and enjoy free play in nature.
