Where is Owl Hollow Nature Play located?
We are located in Grove City, Pennsylvania. Our programs are for any child located in any geographical area. They do not need to reside in Grove City.
How much does Owl Hollow Nature Play cost?
Each session costs $12 per child. Parents/guardians must accompany their child for the duration of the playgroup session. If a family has 2 or more children (from one household) who are attending, the family total is $20 per family. Sessions can be paid for in cash on the day of the playgroup, by using PayPal or through Venmo – whatever is easiest for you!
How will I know more details about Nature Play after I sign up?
I will send a detailed informational email 3-4 days before our session is supposed to meet. In the email I'll go over clothing to wear, the weather and temperatures expected for the day, parking and any other information that is important for our session to occur!
When is Owl Hollow held?
During the school year, playgroups will be held on Saturday mornings. Playgroup is usually held for an hour and a half, from 10:00am – 11:30am. If there is a want or need for more groups based on interest, additional sessions will be added. Playgroup dates and times will be routinely posted on Owl Hollow’s website, Facebook & Instagram pages on a monthly basis.
During the summer, additional Nature Playgroups along with STEM sessions will be held. These days and times will be posted closer to summer!
Is there a restroom/changing room available?
There is a restroom available for use, equipped with a utility sink and a changing table/wipes available for little ones who may need this.
What should my child wear to Owl Hollow Nature Play? And what should I bring?
We meet and hold playgroup rain or shine! (Unless there are weather advisories of any kind). Please dress yourself and your child(ren) in clothing appropriate for active and participatory play, clothes/shoes that you do not mind getting dirty and clothes that will keep you dry and warm!
What is my role as a parent/care-giver when attending Owl Hollow with my child?
We get this question often! Ms. Kristen will facilitate and direct activities and the general rhythm of the day, but our general motto and goal is for children to be comfortable, have fun, be safe and experience success during playgroup. Ultimately, this means your role as a parent or caretaker is to have fun and grow with your child! This time is priceless. Allow your child to delve into nature by letting them “call the shots” on play, where to explore and what activities to discover. Be present as their supporter, step in and provide support wherever/however needed for your child to feel comfortable and engaged. Please do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected] with further or more in-depth questions regarding this!
