Sensory Garden and Play
About the Business
Sensory Garden and Play is a unique educational institution located at 550 Snake Den Road in West Milford, New Jersey. Our approach to education is progressive and nature-based, focusing on teaching the whole child with an emphasis on emotional intelligence.
Our programs are designed for children aged 3 through 11 years old, offering a drop-off program for one-week sessions throughout the summer. We also offer longer-term programs for children aged 3 through 11, with options for 1-4 days per week during the school year.
At Sensory Garden and Play, we provide an emergent curriculum that caters to the interests of each child and their families. At the end of each season, families receive a portfolio of their child's outdoor learning journey.
We are currently fundraising to purchase a yurt, which will serve as our program's home base and allow us to offer shelter for our classrooms, host community events, and develop advocacy programs. Your support will help us revolutionize education for our community and make a lasting impact on the lives of our students, parents, and community members. Join us on this mission and be a part of something truly special at Sensory Garden and Play.

"My grandkids love sensory garden and play program. They are happy going there and they are coming home with smile on their face. When I’m asking them how was their day, they said: It was good, not good, it was great! They love teachers and their friends. And I’m so happy when I’m dropping them there. I know they will be safe and happy. And they are learning a lot having fun. That’s qualify for success!"
"Sensory Garden programming always impresses and the art class was no exception! I was excited for my 5 yo to take a drawing class that focused on big concepts, such as perspective, shading, creating contrast and still life drawings and she LOVED it!!!! Caitlin is an awesome teacher. It was our first time at Sensory Garden’s new home at Camp Wyanokie, and it is the most special place. We are so thankful for this hidden gem."
"This is the third summer my two oldest boys have attended camp at Sensory Garden and Play. They absolutely love it! Everything about it was great. I love that they are outside exploring all day. Chantel and her staff do an amazing job. My youngest boy can't wait to start in September."
"I cannot recommend this program more highly, and if there was an option to give it a one million star review, I would! We joined the program 2 years ago, sending our children once a week, which quickly increased to 2 days a week. The kids "classroom" is absolutely beautiful, they learn a tremendous amount throughout their day, and they come home incredibly happy for having spent the day in the forest in such a nurturing environment with such amazing teachers. The team at SPG creates captivating lessons for the kids each day, sparking creativity and learning. They take great care to ensure that they are safe in the forest and that the children learn about safety. They empower older children to help the younger children. Much of their curriculum also focuses on emotional well-being. The program also centers on caring for the environment and all of their practices promote sustainability. The team is always available to answer any questions or address concerns. They also go above and beyond to plan community events and field trips. If you are homeschooling, you need to consider this program!!"
"My 9th grade students had a wonderful time at SGP. We have had two school trips so far this year and are planning one more before the school year is over. Chantel is amazing and provides an organic enriching learning experience for all learners. Her enthusiastic and upbeat personality captures the student’s attention. Her naturalistic hands on approach keeps the students engaged I highly recommend a trip to SGP."
