Kindergarten Explores the Cincinnati Nature Center
October 6, 2025
In early October, Doherty and Lotspeich kindergartners became outdoor adventurers during their field trip to the Cincinnati Nature Center’s Nature PlayScape.
During this unstructured play opportunity, students enjoyed:
- navigating deep creeks,
- playing wooden musical instruments,
- finding caterpillars,
- and crafting structures using various log sizes.
The Nature PlayScape encompasses 1.6 acres of forest, field, stream, and wetland habitat within Rowe Woods.
The unstructured play in the Cincinnati Nature Center’s Nature PlayScape encourages the same skills students develop in their Seven Hills’ classrooms every day — communication, exploration, and creativity.
