After School - PS 9
Nature and Gardening in Prospect Park for PS 9
We pick kids up from PS 9 and take a beautiful walk to Prospect Park, nearby 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 park as much and as often as possible. This includes hot, cold, windy, snowy and drizzly weather.
Available for Kindergarten - 5th grade. Older kids will have more challenging activities. 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.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO COVID concerns, we are limiting capacity. We are LIMITING PS 9 NATURE AND GARDENING TO TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS AND FRIDAYS. These days are also open to nearby schools, but we will work in small groups.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
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!

WHAT TO WEAR
All kids must wear face masks and dress appropriately, including sun hats, rain coats, rain boots, snow boots, sneakers. NO SANDALS. No fancy outfits because they will absolutely destroy them when they jump into that mud puddle! Please dress for easy and comfortable outdoor movement. We will sometimes be running or walking long distances as we study the mighty oak or the magnificent maple or our native bullfrog or an amazing colony of ants!
