Indoor Coworking, Outdoor Play
Adult Relief: The Indoor Workspace
While children explore the garden, parents can enjoy a quiet, cozy indoor environment designed for deep focus and peace. This setup allows adults to work on professional projects, household admin, personal development, or even guilt-free scrolling in stress-free office space just steps away from their children.
Child Growth: The Outdoor Playspace
We provide a safe environment in Bon Air for children to gain all the benefits that an outdoor learning environment provides. In this all-weather natural playground, children have access to scientific discoveries, the freedom of movement, and the a world of sensory and imaginative play amongst the flora and fauna of Richmond, Virginia.
Child Green Time:
The Benefits of Nature for Child Development
Our garden is a research-informed learning environment designed to foster holistic development. Discover how outdoor play supports the essential domains of early childhood growth.
Social Emotional
Whether learning how to tend to plants and animals gently, collaborating with peers to build a house for insects, or engaging in risk taking, the natural learning environment is ideal for fostering children's social emotional development.
Cognitive
Problem solving, pretend play, and scientific discoveries happen in both a planned and spontaneous way in an outdoor environment. This drives curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.
Physical
Whether running, squatting, digging, planting, climbing, children develop fine and gross motor skills throughout the garden. They can seek the movement they crave while developing the muscles and coordination they will need throughout life.
Language
Whether learning new descriptive vocabulary to talk about incredible sensations, identifying plants and insects, or describing how to use tools, the outdoor learning environment is proven to improve children's vocabulary and language.
Literacy
Outdoor learning fosters early literacy as children identify plant labels, symbols, and narrate stories about their discoveries in the natural world. They also love to read or listen to nature-themed stories, and use informational texts to learn more about the natural world.
Math
Measuring their height against a sunflower, counting seeds, identifying shapes in the natural world, or understanding volume by pouring and scooping,, the natural playground offers ample opportunities to explore math in a fun way.
Parent Screen Time
Find your focus in our dedicated indoor quiet zone. While your child explores the wonders of nature, you can lean into deep work with high-speed fiber internet, beautiful natural light, and dedicated quiet and social spaces. During parent screen time, you can:
• Get work done — meetings, emails, coding, designing, or any task your job demands
• Handle caregiving admin — insurance calls, medical appointments, meal planning, elder care arrangements, and household finances
• Enjoy personal screen time — therapy sessions, Netflix, catching up with friends, guilt-free scrolling, or self-development podcasts
•Avoid screens all together — bring a book, stretch in our yoga room, paint, knit, and meet other parents
