Children (ages 2 to 4) with adult participation will learn basic concepts about nature with hands-on experiences that encourage and celebrate natural curiosity. The classes focus on social emotional development because we value self-discovery, mindfulness (embracing the present moment), connection to community, and appreciation for the world. Our weekly classes include circle time, local plants, animals, crafts, storytelling, snacks, and nature walks. Classes are led by educator, Erika Esposto (M.A.) whose committed to providing children with high quality education.
