Learning in the Outdoor Classroom

At Carousel of Learning, Early Learning Center & Child Care,

the learning continues outside! 


Our Outdoor Classroom offers areas and equipment for art, music, writing, tabletop activities, weaving, gardening, and a weather station! Plenty of outdoor time year-round, invites teachers to guide children in understanding and appreciating nature!


Your children can play safely in one of two fenced-in AstroTurf® playgrounds where climbers, slides, and ample space provide opportunities for running, jumping, and climbing! We have a wide variety of other special equipment like scooters, tricycles, parachutes, and hopper balls to name a few, that are offered regularly for endless opportunities to develop gross motor skills and core strength. All equipment is just the right size to safely offer the right amount of challenge and the right amount of independent play!
