LITTLE EXPLORERS Summer NATURE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM 2025
 

Explore nature with your toddler or preschooler! Children have an innate interest in the world around them. They use their senses to experience and delight in both the familiar and the unknown. Adults (parents, grands, caregivers) can share in these experiences of the natural world as seen through the eyes of their child.

Little Explorers Nature Preschool is designed for children aged 2-6 years, with an adult. Classes include a variety of activities indoors and outside—typically nature walks, stories, and songs.

Choose either 10:30 - 11:30 am or 12:30-1:30 pm.

Water Fun

There are so many ways we use water. In our state, we can’t go far without finding a stream, river, or bay.  It’s summer, so let’s have some fun with water play. Please dress to get wet.
