Who is ready for SPRING?! 🌸🌿 When we can see green grass again, notice buds on trees, and feel warmth from the sun after a long winter.

If you are a parent with a child ages 2-5 years old, we have something special for you this spring!

Featuring our 8 week Kindergarten Readiness Play Group. Designed by our team of specialists with your child in mind. The goal of this group is to support the necessary developing skills needed to thrive in Kindergarten.

Dates: April 7- June 2

Parents, you have 2 locations to choose from ✨👏🏻

Scituate Recreation Department

YMCA Nature Center in Norwell

This group is so meaningful to us because it solves a problem of a huge gap in opportunity in the South Shore.

Nature is Neurological Nutrition. 🧠
Young children thrive when they are outside; where their nervous systems and young brains can experience a wide variety of sensory experiences that are needed for development

REGISTRATION OPENS TUESDAY!!

Meet EXPLORE’s Alexa Howell 🌲

Alexa is a dedicated Occupational Therapist who leads our Duxbury Forest Adventure Group location.

With over 10 years of clinical experience related to pediatric and family centered practice, and a mom herself, Alexa brings such value and depth to our mission!

Here is a quote from a parent whose child attends our Duxbury Forest Adventure Group. “My son looks forward to this group all week long, more than any other extracurricular activity! Ms. Alexa and the team do a great job in communicating with parents, and we trust that the kids are in good hands.”

We are thrilled to have you on the team, Alexa! Thank you for being part of our mission and contributing to the South Shore community

This may seem too simple but outdoor play is where lifelong skills are built.

At EXPLORE, we know that outdoor play isn’t a break from learning.

It is the learning. Kids have the space and time to learn about themselves, about other children and about their imagination.

It builds skills that support autonomy in everyday life; from enhancing fine motor strength to open a bag of pretzels to the dynamic balance required for athletic performance

We’re building confident, capable kids—one adventure at a time 🌲

Forest Adventure Groups are not an extra activity to add to your to-do list.

They are an investment in your child’s mental health, physical development, emotional resilience, and confidence.

Kids need the practice now more than ever before to build these skills.

Skill building takes time, practice and repetition. It does not happen overnight, and it does not happen with just maturity. It happens through practice and through play.

EXPLORE Pediatric Therapy is excited to welcome families to our one-of-a-kind nature-based summer camp for the 5th summer in a row!

With camp days led by a team of trained pediatric specialists, we offer an enriching outdoor experience designed to help every child thrive.

Camp is 100% outdoors, supporting connection to nature and to peers through exploration, play, and shared adventure.

All games and activities are thoughtfully adapted so every child can participate, and our child-led, free-play philosophy allows kids to build confidence, creativity, and friendships at their own pace.

Our team is well-equipped to support big feelings and unexpected challenges, and we provide guidance, visual supports, and other tools when a child benefits from extra structure.

Parents receive a daily debrief at pick-up, along with access to a shared photo album that’s updated each day.

Our mission is to bring a true, inclusive summer camp experience to children and families across the South Shore.

Registration options: link in bio, scan the QR code, or head to our website

Hold to read what parents have said about their experience with our camp in previous years! ☀️🌳🌊

Did you know that children develop the frontal lobe of their brain when they take risks?

When a child participates in healthy risk-taking, they learn about consequences. They practice trial and error. They have to figure out what went wrong and what went right. Then they adapt.

This is where strong frontal lobes are developed. If you’re wondering what the frontal lobe is responsible for… Keep reading:

🧠 Emotional Regulation
🧠Impulse Control
🧠Executive Functions
🧠 Language Production
🧠Social Thinking

Aka - Life Skills. The frontal lobe is where we spend most of our adult lives. Allow allowing a child to grow up practicing the skills needed to launch into adulthood is essential to success!

What types of healthy risk taking opportunities are you providing for your child on a regular basis?

If 2026 is the year you want to prioritize outside time, we are sharing 3 tips to help you achieve your goals 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣

Tip 1- Invest in good gear (for child and adult!) If you are cold, wet or uncomfortable you will not want to spend longer chunks of time outside. We love the Outdoor School Shop. Use code EXPLORE for 10% off! 🧥🧤🥾

Tip 2- Head to and download one of their beautiful hour tracking prints. Every time you come in after an outdoor adventure, you can color and track how many hours you’ve been outside! It’s a fun and motivating process 🖍️

Tip 3 - Invite a friend to join you! We are social beings; if you’re wanting to help your child complain less and explore more, invite a friend. Kids are wired to complain more to their parents and families. It’s neuroscience. But, if you enlist a friend, you are essentially removing yourself from needing to be the go to person 🤗

How do you put into words the importance of this community? How can you capture the value we place on the people who trust us, believe in us, support us and refer their friends to us?

2025 was another year of growth.

We all grew. As specialists, leaders, friends, parents. We are out there showing up every day, (in all types of weather), together…and it’s all for the kids. Our desire to be better role models, and to show children just how capable they are. It’s the most important work 💚

Many people have come into my life these past 4 years that feel like they were meant to be there. Life brought us together for a powerful purpose— to advocate for higher standards for our children

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and all of us at EXPLORE Pediatric Therapy! We can’t wait to hit the ground running next week for another value packed year ahead
