Each session features a new topic that includes story time, hands-on art, and outdoor discovery. Through movement, creativity, and close observation, children explore the natural world in ways that are both educational and fun. The program encourages curiosity, builds sensory awareness, and fosters early connections to plants, animals, and the seasons.
The program will be canceled only in cases of thunder or high winds. Rain won’t stop the adventure—just bring a coat and boots!
Although walk-ins are welcome, we recommend registering by emailing [email protected]. Registration ensures you’ll receive reminders and updates.
Little Nature Explorers offers families a chance to slow down and enjoy meaningful moments outside. The Garden becomes a classroom filled with wonder and discovery. Come explore with us and help your child build a lifelong love of nature—one Tuesday at a time.
