Nature Explorers
Ages 18 months – 6 years old
75 min class- Available Fall, Winter, & Spring
Nature Explorers provides caregivers and children, ages 18 month- 6 year old, a space to nurture their relationship with nature through inquiry-driven and play based learning. Both children and adults come to class ready to get messy and play. Season tailored lessons are designed around themes such as animal play, weather, festivals, five senses and outdoor careers (such as wildlife biologist or gardener) and honor children’s strong need to jump, spin, balance, run, climb, splash, dig, transform, build, lift, create and imagine.
We strive to have every class feel magical and be filled with wonder, we do this through storytelling, songs, and movement. Come make magical potions, follow animal tracks, learn about how trees talk, create a mud kitchen, become a nature detective and more.
Nature Explorers is a 10 week series available Fall, Winter, and Spring. We are exclusively outdoors and put up our own shelters when it is raining, snowing or windy. We recommend signing up for all three seasons to get the most benefit out of the program. Classes are limited to 12 students.
