TimberNook Announces New Program Provider in Falls Church and Fairfax County

FALLS CHURCH, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, January 23, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TimberNook, an innovative nature-based developmental program for children, recently welcomed Acton Academy Falls Church to be the exclusive TimberNook provider of Falls Church and Fairfax County. Starting in June, TimberNook Falls Church will offer unique play experiences for children that are designed to foster creativity, imagination, and independent play in the great outdoors.

At TimberNook Falls Church, children have the chance to play together and independently, using stories, games, and experiences to have fun, learn, develop, and explore.

Hernan Feler, co-founder of Acton Academy Falls Church, believes in the TimberNook philosophy that the more children engage in self-directed play and take reasonable risks outdoors, the better equipped they are to be successful in home and school environments.

TimberNook is very aligned with our school philosophy of following the child and providing environments for exploration. TimberNook Falls Church will offer children a fun and enriching experience in nature, fostering confidence and imagination. We love that we can offer an authentic "in the woods" experience right in the heart of Falls Church City.

TimberNook’s founder Angela Hanscom is thrilled to see her idea of preventative health care for children spread to a new location. “Our dedicated providers are at the core of what we do, and we love to see unique camp opportunities that integrate movement, imagination, and nature become available to a new community of children.”

Registration for TimberNook Summer Enrichment Programs is now open and can be accessed here.
