About this Event
Join us with your little ones as we explore the wonders of the natural world together!
Nature Sprouts is a gentle, engaging introduction to outdoor discovery for toddlers and their caregivers, designed to spark curiosity, confidence, and joy through hands-on experiences in nature.
Each session includes story time, sensory play, guided outdoor exploration, and simple activities that help children interact with the world around them in age-appropriate ways. The program is relaxed, welcoming, and encourages caregivers to participate alongside their child.
Programs meet in St. Francis Hall and run from 10:00–11:30 AM. Families are welcome to stay afterward to continue exploring, play outside, or enjoy lunch on the grounds.
Tuesday, June 23rd: Feelin' Squirrely!
Join us for a morning with your busy little squirrels! We’ll read a story to spark our imagination, then head outside to pretend to gather acorns, scamper through the grass, and explore trees like a squirrel would. Little learners will use their hands to collect treasures, practice hopping and climbing safely, and enjoy story time. Through this playful morning, children will discover how squirrels work hard, prepare for the future, and enjoy the simple joys of the forest!
