Fall Semester
Join us each month as we explore a new nature theme designed especially for preschoolers!
Please register for each monthly class separately.
October 7 and 8: Walkers, Trotters, Creepers, Crawlers.
Explore the world of creatures that crawl- on many legs, four legs or no legs at all! Find footprints and patterns on the ground, share songs, stories and games and craft all about moving through nature.
November 4 and 5: Things with Wings
Bugs, birds, even some mammals and seeds have wings! We'll sing, play, and create a fun craft as we explore the world of Things with Wings in this hourlong program.
December 2 and 3: Motionless Marvels
Trees, rocks, ponds - so many things in nature seem to hardly move at all. Or do they? Preschoolers will learn about nature's seemingly motionless marvels as they sing, play, and create a craft.

Please plan to arrive 5-10 minutes prior to the program to ensure a prompt start.
The intention of this program is to guide guardians and their children through activities to promote not only learning but also bonding. For this reason, a 1:1 ratio of adults to students is highly encouraged for this program to ensure that your children receive the best experience. If you have more than one student attending, please plan to bring an additional adult or sibling 13 years or older.
Sibling Policy: Siblings under 2 and babies in arms are free. Siblings will not participate in the activities or class as the class is aimed at the specific age group of 3-5 and supplies for activities are limited. Due to space limitations, we restrict the amount of additional, non-participating siblings to 1 per registration. Siblings 13 years or older may attend as a guardian if providing support to a student.
