Explore Connect
At Wondernest, we use the Tinkergarten method of teaching to inspire joy and curiosity in families through nature-based play. We aim to foster growth, connection, and lifelong learning for children and families in Montclair/Bloomfield and surrounding areas of Northern New Jersey.
​
At the core of Wondernest are weekly classes for children of all ages. We also have monthly community events, special partnerships, and much more.

Come play with us!

Summer Solstice Celebration
On Friday, June 20 we will gather in Brookdale Park to celebrate the Summer Solstice - the longest day of the year and the start of summer! Together we will create nature crowns, read a book about the day, and engage in sensory fun.
Open to all, but please register. There is a suggested donation of $5 to cover materials.
Summer at Wondernest
This summer, there are several options for purposeful outdoor play at Wondernest: pop up classes (choose what fits your schedule) and a week-long camp for daily fun.
Saturday Classes with Bloomfield Parks & Rec
Wondernest Play is partnering with the Bloomfield Recreation Department to offer two Saturday class options at Oakeside Cultural Center. Details and registration can be found on their website:
