Engage with your child ages 3-5 in a hands-on-learning, nature-based program guided by an experienced educator and naturalist. Participants will create art, participate in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEAM) activities, listen to stories, and explore the outdoors once a week. Each week will have a different theme focusing on sensory development and environmental conservation.
