STAY AND PLAY, for all ages: caregivers stay to make friends, read, work, chill, relax or play

Our all outdoor nature play classes offer the space and time for kids to play as they are, no judgments and no adult agendas. Whether it's digging up worms and climbing trees, making secret hideouts and playing soccer with found objects, or making muffins in the mud kitchen--it all happens here. At Brooklyn Wild, children can be their truest selves through play.

And so can grown-ups! Caregivers opting to STAY AND PLAY, can read, work, relax, make new friends or join the play.

Trained playworkers and nature educators gently support play and relationships without judgment. They respect children's ideas and all play types, and create environments of trust, freedom and permission while keeping everyone safe.

When dangerously inclement weather is forecast for the entire class, we visit the library or Industry City. If we must close temporarily due to unforeseen circumstances or emergencies, make-up classes will be offered at a date and time selected by Brooklyn Wild. We recommend that all students over five be fully vaccinated.
