Sprouts: Ages 2-3 with a caregiver
This 2-hour program offers an opportunity for a small group of two and three-year-olds to explore our nature sanctuary with their favorite adult and one of our nature school teachers. The class offers a balance of outdoor and indoor activities to give you a “preview” of our drop-off preschool classes. Classes meet every Friday, and each student attends class with a parent or caregiver.
Applicants need to be 2 years of age by September 1.
