At Kidd’s Preschool Enrichment Center, we embrace the beauty of Columbus' natural play areas and the incredible impact they have on children's growth and development. Our dedicated team, led by Mr. Jared, recognizes the importance of incorporating outdoor learning experiences into our curriculum.

The Power of Outdoor Learning

Research has repeatedly shown that outdoor learning environments provide numerous benefits for young learners. They serve as a gateway to discovery, imagination, and holistic development.

By venturing into Columbus' natural play areas, children have the opportunity to engage their senses, develop gross and fine motor skills, enhance cognitive abilities, and foster social-emotional growth. Interacting with nature sparks curiosity, encourages problem-solving, and promotes a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world around us.

Exploring Columbus' Natural Play Areas

Columbus is blessed with an array of natural play areas that offer diverse learning opportunities for children. Let's take a closer look at some of the captivating destinations:

Glacier Ridge Metro Park

Located in Dublin, Glacier Ridge Metro Park is a serene natural playground that features expansive green spaces, hiking trails, and a variety of wildlife. Children can explore the wonders of nature, observe different species of birds, and learn about the importance of conservation.

Topiary Park

Situated in the heart of downtown Columbus, Topiary Park is a unique urban oasis. Inspired by Georges Seurat's famous painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of La Grande Jatte," the park showcases stunning living sculptures depicting scenes from the painting. Children can immerse themselves in this artistic wonderland, sparking their creativity and imagination.

Scioto Audubon Metro Park

Scioto Audubon Metro Park offers a perfect blend of beauty and learning. This expansive park provides opportunities for bird-watching, fishing, and hands-on exploration. Children can participate in nature-based programs, learning about the diverse ecosystem and understanding the importance of environmental stewardship.

Goodale Park

Located in the historic Victorian Village neighborhood, Goodale Park combines natural beauty with community heritage. Children can enjoy the playground, explore the rose garden, and witness the iconic bronze statue of Christopher Columbus. This park offers a glimpse into Columbus' rich history while providing a peaceful and interactive environment for children.
