PoemTree After-School Program for Ages 5-12
PoemTree After-School Program is a nature-based program inspired by forest schools for children and preteens between the ages of 5 and 12, led by experienced outdoor educators. This creative, play-based (mostly) program offers children the gift of free time to play, explore their own imaginations and build creative outdoor skills in the woods.
PoemTree runs Monday-Friday, 3-5:30 p.m., with a choice of attending two, three, or five days a week. Busing is available from nearby elementary schools -- email director@prairieflowercc.org for more info. What Goes on During PoemTree?
Our main activity is free play in nearby woods and green space. However, on any given day at PoemTree, you may find your child:
During the winter months when days are shorter, we are at times forced indoors, where our main activities are playing board games, cooking, making art and other forms of crafting and handwork (like weaving, knitting, sewing, and painting). As a child-led center, we follow the impulses and interests of the children. Seasonally, we explore different themes or skills.
