After School - PS 133
Nature and Gardening in Prospect Park for PS 133
We pick kids up from PS 133 and take a beautiful walk to Prospect Park, the school garden, community gardens, street trees and other wonderful green spaces where they will learn about amazing plants, mushrooms and delicious weeds! They learn to recognize and help native and endangered plants, grow and bring home delicious greens and explore the coolest flora and fauna! We intend to be outdoors in the garden or park as much and as often as possible. This includes hot, cold, windy, snowy and drizzly weather. Available for Kindergarten - 5th grade.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO COVID concerns and capacity limits, we are LIMITING PS 133 NATURE AND GARDENING TO TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS AND FRIDAYS. WEDNESDAYS will ONLY be open to PS 133 kids. Your kids will have little or no interaction with kids from other schools. Tuesdays are open to multiple schools including PS 133, but we will still work in small groups. We suggest signing up with a buddy or buddies (a pod) so your child is not in an unfamiliar group. In order to make sure younger kids do not feel left out or overwhelmed, we recommend kindergarteners sign up with a buddy or pod member (sibling, best friend, etc.) Ask your kids to come up with a fun name for their pod! Pods will work together in small groups and we will keep classroom buddies, siblings and age groups together. Parents and babysitters also have the option of dropping children off at the park, including pod drop-offs.

We have fun outdoors safely with face masks on, follow relevant COVID protocols and will communicate regularly about staying safe and healthy while having a blast outdoors!
