Here are just a few of the benefits of nature based playgoups at HOPE Grove 💚

Unstructured movement and time in nature provide powerful sensory and neurological input that developing brains need:
🌿 Vestibular + proprioceptive input (running, climbing, swinging) supports balance, coordination, and body awareness
🌿 Heavy work and movement help regulate the nervous system and improve attention
🌿 Outdoor sensory experiences build tolerance for different sounds, textures, and environments
🌿 Risky play and problem-solving strengthen resilience, confidence, and executive functioning

We still have a few spaces left for Summer 2026!!

Today hit hard. Many kids had a long weekend off school, and the weather was absolutely beautiful- warm winter temps, sunshine on repeat, the kind of days that practically invite outdoor play.

And yet, so many of the children I spoke with hadn’t spent any time outside.

I get it- life is busy, families are stretched thin, and screens have become an incredibly easy default.

But from a pediatric OT perspective, it’s important to understand what kids are missing when outdoor play disappears.

Outdoor play is so much more than “fresh air.” It supports regulation, creativity, motor skills, resilience, and connection. Kids need unstructured time to move, explore, get bored, and find wonder in the world around them.

When kids spend long stretches on screens, their brains and bodies often miss out on the foundational input that supports regulation, participation, and emotional control.

We often wonder why more children struggle with:
•frustration tolerance
•transitions
•perseverance through hard tasks
•flexible play
•anxiety and frequent meltdowns

Sometimes the answer isn’t more “behavior strategies” - it’s more movement, connection, and sensory-rich real-world play.

Even small changes matter. Ten minutes outside. A walk after dinner. Time at the park. A few minutes of joyful connection.

Let’s support childhood and give our kids more opportunities for real-life play, movement and nature- because childhood deserves it.

Summer Registration is in full swing!
I know it's hard to think about summer fun when there is still snow on the ground and ICE everywhere. HOPE Grove is a place for ALL people and we celebrate diversity in all forms. Children deserve to feel safe and loved and to play freely.

Our camps are filling quickly but there is still room to join us this summer! If the dates you are hoping for are sold out, feel free to reach out and I will create wait lists.

Holiday baking is a wonderful opportunity for tactile sensory exploration!! 🥮

Also the scooping, pouring, mixing and kneading that happened before this step was great for motor skills too! 🥣
