Pathfinder Fridays is a nature-based enrichment program designed to inspire curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning. Rooted in Montessori principles, each Friday invites children to explore, create, problem-solve and connect with the natural world through hands-on experiences, meaningful work and guided discovery.
