This class for our youngest learners will ignite excitement for nature by focusing each month on a well-known animal, plant, or natural occurrence. Through stories, crafts and nature exploration kids will collect information about these fun topics. With this new knowledge, kids and families can gain confidence with outdoor nature play and experience the joy and wonder of nature.
