Our PALS group will engage in nature-based play and learning that helps develop confidence, self-esteem, empathy and connection to the natural world. Designed as a complement to formal learning, this enrichment program also incorporates literacy, science and art while leaving time for unstructured free play. Children will explore the spring awakening at Boxerwood and the different creatures that inhabit our woodland garden.

Enrollment Process: This is a 2-step process for unusual times . . .
1. If you are interested in signing up your child for Spring PALS simply email Hannah West, hannah@boxerwood.org Do not send payment. Let Hannah know the name of your child, age, gender, and whether you are seeking need-based aid. Boxerwood aspires to build a diverse group of learners; is there anything else you’d like us to know?
2. We will build the spring 2021 PALS roster from among those interested, guided by values of equity and diversity. We will update all families about their status with PALS by March 3. Those joining PALS for Spring 2021 will then complete an online registration and make payments at that time.
