Early Learning
Center garden
The Early Learning Garden at Bodacious Brew Thru is central to Pensacola’s effort to become an Early Learning City, focusing on early brain development and school readiness. Rishy Studer, owner of the Bodacious Shops, emphasizes the garden’s role in providing a playful yet developmental space for children. Supported by the Studer Community Institute, the garden uses sensory-rich elements like sand pits and Tree Cookies to enhance children’s brain development, creativity, and problem-solving skills, preparing them for future academic and workforce success.
Discover & Grow
“Do you know that Pensacola has one of the first, maybe even the first early learning sensory gardens in the United States?
Yes, right at the Bodacious Brew Thru. A great place for children to build brains while adults enjoy food, drink, and the joy of seeing children learn while having fun.”
– Quint Studer
Children can engage directly with nature through guided activities that teach them about plant life cycles, pollination, and the importance of biodiversity. The garden also features small wildlife habitats that attract butterflies and birds, providing kids with a close-up look at different species and their environments.
Educational signage throughout the garden offers fun facts and prompts inquiry, encouraging children to think critically about environmental sustainability and conservation practices. This hands-on approach not only fosters a deeper understanding of nature but also instills a lifelong appreciation and respect for the environment.
The Early Learning Garden is designed to be a safe, nurturing space where children can freely explore and discover, under the watchful eyes of parents and educators. It’s an inviting place where learning opportunities bloom around every corner, making each visit a unique adventure in education and discovery.
