River Oak Co-op
Our mixed-age early childhood program at River Park, a nature area on the North Side of Chicago, is led by Stacy Niemiec and Sarah Bethel, two experienced outdoor educators. This co-op provides developmentally appropriate, play-based early childhood education that promotes respect for people and nature through outdoor learning.
