bring us to your school
The Garden Museum brings fully mobile, outdoor field trips directly to TK and kindergarten classes throughout the San Francisco Bay Area (& surrounding communities!). Schools receive a complete hands-on play experience on campus, eliminating the need for buses and off-site permission slips.
Founded and designed by a former educator, our sessions offer active, play-based nature learning that meets young learners right where they are & want to be. Designed for TK & Kindergarten, we support movement, meaningful play, and open-ended exploration.
We’ll bring it all to you. Right on campus, or for a memorable walking field trip to the neighborhood park.
No buses, no stress…just a pop-up world of hands-on, child-led exploration. Students build, imagine, and discover through loose parts play, sensory trays, and open-ended nature materials that spark curiosity and creativity.
Lower grades deserve better than another sit-and-watch field trip!
This play-based outdoor learning experience for Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten students supports California Early Learning Foundations through hands-on, developmentally appropriate exploration. In an active outdoor setting, students build language, social-emotional, and motor skills while engaging in sensory-rich, developmentally appropriate activities that encourage curiosity, collaboration, and early scientific thinking.
