Nature Class for Early Childhood


Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) -
Winter/Spring 2024

Rain or shine. Each session will include a nature walk and exploration. Bring strollers if needed & dress for the weather and outdoor fun: tennis shoes, jackets, etc. Some of the trails will be gravel/ dirt and uneven. We will meet at various outdoor locations/parks and learn how to be “scientists”- kid-style. Nature time is an awesome time to help children learn to think and observe. The “Project Learning Tree” curriculum and other nature-based hands-on activities will be included each time we gather. Come play, learn and find some bugs and worms.

(Sign up for one or all of the Nature Classes.) 

Price is per family for each session.
