NTI Students can get some help at the Forest Learning Lab

LOUISVILLE, Ky (WDRB) — The Parklands of Floyds Fork can help keep your child socially and educationally engaged during the upcoming non-traditional school year.

WDRB’s Keith Kaiser learns about the Forest Learning Lab.

At the Forest Learning Lab, non-traditional instruction meets the non-traditional Outdoor Classroom of Beckley Creek Park with its forests, meadows, and aquatic habitats.

Led by Parklands Interpretive Rangers—trained educators and scientists—the Forest Learning Lab offers students a structured day of non-traditional instruction, homework help, and outdoor exploration time.

Classes are almost entirely outdoors each day to provide a safe, engaging environment for your child to thrive during NTI.

Forest Learning Lab sessions are offered weekly for kids in grades 1-3 and 4-6 beginning August 25, 2020.
