Garden Explorers
Small August mornings for children in the garden, forest, kitchen and music spaces in Salir do Porto.
A meaningful three hour rhythm for children aged 6 to 12, with space to move, make, wonder, help, sing, explore and do real work with their hands.
For children
Time outdoors, real work, movement, stories, music, nature, animals and practical skills.
For Families
A steady pocket of morning time during August, when school and many activities pause.
Small Group
Maximum 6 children, so each child can be seen, supported and cared for.
A morning rhythm in a living place
Each morning will grow from the life of the place. The garden, outdoor kitchen, ducks, trees, soil, water, music space and forest paths become the environment for the morning.
Children may make pizza in the outdoor oven, prepare simple food, explore herbs, observe ducks and their life cycle, make ice cream, bake, walk in the forest, draw, sing, build, notice insects and plants, listen to stories, take part in practical work and help care for the space.
For children aged 6 to 12
These mornings are especially suited to children from 6 to 12, an age of imagination, exploration, independence, friendship, big questions and meaningful work.
The rhythm is inspired by Montessori’s second plane of development, with space for responsibility, collaboration, movement, story and discovery. Younger siblings from 4 to 6 may join when it makes sense, especially with an older sibling.

A little breathing space for families
August can be a strange month for families. School is closed, many extracurricular activities pause, and the usual rhythm can disappear all at once.
These mornings offer a small, steady pocket of time where children can be meaningfully engaged outdoors, while parents have some space to work, rest, run errands or simply breathe.

Enrolment
Families can send a private message first to ask questions or check if the sessions are a good fit.
To enrol, a short form must be completed with the child’s details, emergency contact, medical or allergy information, permissions and the information needed for insurance.
Because the group is small, places are confirmed after the form is submitted and payment is received.
