When weather permits, we will also walk to, learn about, and work on neighborhood trees, community gardens and neighborhood green spaces. Kids will get really dirty and they will love it! We intend to be outdoors - (Prospect Park, Von King Park, Ft. Greene Park, school gardens, community gardens, etc... depending on the school and its proximity to green spaces) as much and as often as possible. This includes hot, cold, windy, snowy and drizzly weather. This is mainly a 1st grade - 7th grade program, but every school is different . We may be able to accommodate pre-K and Kindergarten at schools where we are primarily going to be gardening in an enclosed school garden. We suggest signing up with a buddy or buddies (a pod) so your child is not in an unfamiliar group. We make every effort to keep the same schools, pods, classroom buddies and age groups together. We offer limited pick-ups at schools, including PS 321, United/PS 305, PS 133, PS 118, PS 9, PS 39 and PS 282. | M - F |
