Garden & Outdoor Learning
Outdoor experiences are an important part of life at TIMS. Children need space to move, observe, dig, climb, run, wonder and care for the natural world.
Learning beyond the classroom
Montessori education values the whole child. Outdoor time gives children opportunities to develop balance, coordination, social skills, observation and respect for living things.
Secure outdoor play
TIMS has a secure playground where children can run, climb and play freely. Outdoor play gives children the physical movement they need and helps them build confidence, cooperation and problem-solving skills.
Nature walks and open fields
The school's location in Oberursel gives children access to nearby open fields and natural surroundings. Nature walks allow children to notice seasonal changes, observe plants and insects, and experience the world with curiosity.
Garden experiences
Garden time can include planting, watering, caring for vegetables or observing how plants grow. These simple experiences help children understand patience, responsibility and the connection between care and growth.
