Preschool Ecology
     -for children age 3 1/2 to 5

(Please note that children must be toilet-trained.)

<<Click here for registration form>>

Preschool children have a special opportunity to meet together each week in a club-like atmosphere under the guidance of our experienced professional educators.  As the children get to know each other, they will get to know our trails, our plants and our menagerie of animals. Join the club for either the Tuesday or the Thursday series.  Each series offers 8 to 10 sessions through each season (depending on holidays). Each gathering is filled with hands-on Nature exploration reinforced by interactive songs, activities, and animal encounters. Each day we take a brief hike and search out the seasonal changes in Nature around us. Make friends with other kids and our menagerie. Sign up for the series offered in Fall, Winter and/or Spring. Or, try one or two sessions a la carte.  New series offered each season in Fall, Winter and Spring.  Sign up for the series or try it out for a session or two.  This is a drop-off program.
