Fall 2024 Season Map
Every season we focus on a key skill for our young explorers and this fall our focus skill is... Focus! Our "Focus" curriculum is designed to help kids hone the symphony of skills we use to direct, shift, and sustain our attention.
Our lessons follow a steady progression and are organized into three experiential, child-led units around the following themes:
Our Treasures
Our Spaces
Our Focus Tools

How we will help kids "Focus"!
How we will help kids "Focus"!
Throughout the series, we’ll leverage the captivating natural world to teach kids several building blocks of focus: how to feel present in the moment; how to zoom in and zoom out; how to wonder; and how to follow our interests. Throughout our series, we’ll also reinforce rituals that help us feel both grounded and open to discovery.
In our Our Treasures unit, we zoom in on the natural treasures within our outdoor spaces. In our Our Spaces unit, we zoom out to notice what is happening and changing in our biomes—up, down and all around us. In our final Our Focus Tools unit, we zoom inwards on the “tools” and strategies we can use to support ourselves as we focus on the ability to imagine original ideas or solutions to problems and make them happen.
