Let’s create something meaningful, together.
Every child deserves a safe, nurturing outdoor space filled with joy, wonder, and belonging. With a heart-centered approach, our experienced team of designers and educators brings together expertise from multiple disciplines, including child development and landscape architecture, to create nature-rich outdoor learning environments that inspire play, learning, and connection.
Dimensions Education Programs // Lincoln, NE
Our collaborative process puts your vision at the center.
Listening is at the core of what we do. We learn about your space, your goals, and your dreams to design with you, not just for you. Then we bring our research-based approach, years of field experience, and a deep love of children and nature to craft an outdoor classroom that’s as unique as your program – all while building consensus amongst your team so you can move your design forward with confidence. We’ll work hand-in-hand with you to imagine what is possible, then help make it real. It all starts with a plan!

Harding University Partnership School–Harding’s Outdoor Project of Education (HOPE) // Santa Barbara, CA
Our work blends creativity with research-based design, ensuring each project is not only beautiful but thoughtfully crafted to meet the needs of its users, especially children. We take time to understand the unique character of every site, drawing on our combined skills in landscape planning, spatial design, and user engagement to bring your vision to life.
As a non-profit, we achieve our mission through the success of your space! We offer ongoing support to all our clients for the life of your outdoor classroom. We are here in an advisory capacity to answer any questions that come up around implementation, maintenance, safety, or sustaining your space over time.
“Our program serves a 78% socioeconomically disadvantaged student demographic, many of whom lack access to green spaces. Through Nature Explore design, we’ve seen rapid academic and language development gains. The spaces enrich learning, support social and emotional wellness, and foster autonomy, student voice, inquiry, and wonder.”
—Veronica Binkley, Principal, Harding University Partnership School
